Fourteen people including senior vigilance officers were feared trapped after a lift collapsed at the Kolihan mine in Rajasthan's Jhunjhunu district late last night. Of them, three have been rescued so far from the copper mine of Hindustan Copper Limited and efforts are on to evacuate the remaining ones.
Doctors at the site suggest all those who were trapped are safe.
The lift was carrying a vigilance team from Kolkata as well as mine officials. It is believed to have crashed nearly 2,000 feet inside the mine. Nine ambulances are on standby outside the mine.
