A tragic incident occurred in India's northeastern state of Mizoram as a stone quarry collapsed due to heavy rains caused by a tropical storm, resulting in the loss of 13 lives with 16 workers still missing. The quarry, located in Melthum, approximately 6 kilometers from the state capital Aizwal, became a site of devastation as rescue efforts were initiated to save those trapped beneath the rubble.
Rescue operations led to the recovery of the bodies of the deceased workers, while two individuals were successfully rescued from the debris. Despite the challenges posed by the collapsed quarry, rescue teams are tirelessly working to reach the remaining trapped workers and are hopeful of finding more survivors amidst the wreckage.
