Gaurav Gogoi writes to PM, seeks SIT probe in Assam mining tragedy

“As of at present, rescue operations have entered their sixth day, however the destiny of coal miners trapped within the unlawful coal mine at Dima Hasao stays unsure. Unlawful mining continues unchecked in Assam, fuelled by weak regulation enforcement and native complicity,” mentioned the Congress’ deputy chief within the Lok Sabha.

“I’ve written to the prime minister urging an pressing SIT probe to research this tragedy. These answerable for this tragedy should be held accountable. Furthermore, broader problems with security, corruption, and environmental hurt should be addressed too,” he mentioned.

The households of the victims deserve justice, and “we should be certain that such incidents are prevented sooner or later”, Gogoi added.
