“The rescue effort has concluded with the recovery of all 12 dead bodies,” Abdul Ghani Baloch, chief inspector of mines for Balochistan province, told AFP.Abdullah Shahwani, Balochistan’s director general of mining, also confirmed the death toll, and said “initial reports suggest the incident was caused by methane gas”.
A group of eight people who were attempting to rescue their colleagues also became trapped for several hours, but were later brought to safety by a government rescue team — some of them unconscious. “Safety measures at coal mines are scarcely implemented. While other provinces have some safety protocols in place, in Balochistan safety is utterly neglected.”
