An earthmover operator, Selvam, 25, died hours after being rescued from a 300-foot-deep stone quarry at Adaimithippaankulam in Tirunelveli district on Sunday evening, even as three workers remained trapped since Saturday night.
Six workers were trapped after a giant boulder from the loose soil rolled down the private quarry pit in the Munneerpallam police station limits. Two of them were rescued with minor injuries on Sunday.
