Coal mine
Four workers are feared dead and nine have been injured following alandslide at a Coal India Ltd mine in Odisha, news agency Reuters reported quoting a company spokesman on Wednesday.
The open cast mine in Odisha, with production capacity of 20,000 tonnes a day, had been shut after the late Tuesday accident, Dikken Mehra, a spokesman for Mahanadi Coalfields Ltd, a Coal India subsidiary told.
"It will take at least a week to resume operations," Mehra said.

In December, at least 15 miners were trapped in an illegal "rat-hole" coal mine in the northeastern state of Meghalaya.
Thousands of workers in Meghalaya, including children, have been killed in the so-called rat-hole mines, in which miners crawl into narrow shafts on bamboo ladders to dig for low-quality coal.
