RANCHI/DHANBAD(JHARKHAND): A ruling JMM lawmaker told the Jharkhand House that at least four miners were killed and many others were severely wounded when the roof of an active BCCL mine in Dhanbad caved in during illegal mining on Thursday. The incident took place in West Modidih Colliery which is operated by an outsourced company, about 20 km from Dhanbad town, he claimed.
BJP MLA Dhullu Mahto also raised the issue in the House.
BCCL officials and local police, however, denied the occurence of the incident.
