Bodies of four recovered from caved-in mine

Pakistani official said rescue workers have recovered the bodies of four mine workers who were buried under a landslide in the country’s south-west.

Iftikhar Ahmad, a coalmine inspector, said yesterday rescue workers were searching for the remaining two workers in the Shrag area of the Harnai coal field. Ahmad said a landslide a day before caused a portion of the coal mine to cave in.

Such incidents are common in Pakistan’s coalmine fields where authorities do not pay due attention to workers’ safety. (AP)
