TURA: Rescue teams in South Garo Hills are expecting to reach the trapped coal miners at Rongsa Awe by Tuesday even as they fear the worst for the men who have been underground for the last five days after their mine caved in.

At least eight miners were killed after being trapped inside a coal mine.
