Sonbhadra landslide: 5 dead, rescue ops conclude

India Nov 15, 2025

A stone quarry in Sonbhadra, Uttar Pradesh, collapsed on Saturday, trapping workers with one confirmed dead and four more feared trapped.
Teams from the NDRF and local authorities rushed in for rescue efforts but could only recover one body from the debris by Saturday.

Why does this matter?

This tragedy isn't just about one accident—it's a wake-up call about safety at mining sites where many people work in risky conditions every day.
Sonbhadra's long history of mining means these dangers aren't new, but incidents like this are a reminder that better safety measures are urgently needed to protect lives.
