GUWAHATI:
The miners became trapped on Monday when water gushed in from a nearby unused mine in the Umrangso area in Dima Hasao district, about 125 miles (200 kilometers) south of the state capital, Guwahati.
"Army deep divers have found and retrieved one body from the flooded mine. The divers will go into the mine again to continue their search operations," said Kaushik Rai, a local government minister who is monitoring the rescue efforts.
Nearly 100 rescuers from the police, navy, army and the National Disaster Response Force are battling adverse conditions and taking turns searching inside the 300-foot (90 meter)-deep mine.
