Assam Mine Tragedy: Sixth schedule committee demands transparency, accountability over delayed judicial report

Guwahati, July 12 (UNI) More than six months after the devastating rat-hole coal mine tragedy in Assam's Dima Hasao district, a key regional organisation has demanded that the state government immediately make public the findings of the judicial commission that probed the incident.
On January 6, 2025, nine workers were trapped inside an illegal coal mine in the Umrangso area of Dima Hasao due to sudden flooding.
After a massive, multi-agency rescue operation involving the Indian Navy, National Disaster Response Force (NDRF), and state authorities, the last of the victims’ bodies was recovered on February 19 — 44 days after the incident.
