The district administration and rescuers have told the families that the body could disintegrate if it is pulled out and that it would be difficult to retrieve it.

Shillong:
The families of four of the 15 miners trapped inside a 370-foot-deep coal mine in Meghalaya on Saturday urged rescuers to retrieve a decomposed body spotted by divers so that they can perform the last rites.

The Navy divers had detected on Wednesday the decomposed body of one of the miners, using an unmanned, remotely-operated vehicle (ROV) at a depth of around 160 feet inside the main shaft.

Officials have said it would be "extremely difficult" to retrieve the decomposed body intact.

"It is difficult to retrieve the remains detected (by the ROV) without disintegration as wanted by the family members and shown in the recorded video taken by the Navys ROV," East Jaintia Hills district Deputy Commissioner FM Dopth said.

A senior government official said that the rescue operation is still underway because of a Supreme Court order.

The district authorities are waiting for family members from West Garo Hills district in western Meghalaya to reach the site.

Seven miners from Rajabala area have been confirmed trapped inside the ill-fated mine when horizontal holes dug along the coal seam accidentally flooded on December 13, operation spokesperson R Susngi said.
