Fifteen miners were trapped in the illegal mine in Lumthari village since December 13 last year, when water from the nearby Lytein river flooded the mine. Since then, a multi-agency rescue operation is being carried out to evacuate the miners.
The Centre and the Meghalaya government on Monday informed the Supreme Court that the operation to evacuate the miners has not been abandoned.
