    At least 15 miners were trapped after water from the nearby Lytein river gushed into the illegal rat-hole mine in Lumthari village in the Ksan area, Jaintia Hills, on December 13 last year.

    Only one body could be retrieved till date, he said.

    The process of dewatering the mine is also on with three organizations.
