3:42Now PlayingThree miners are feared dead as rescuers worked to reach nine men trapped inside a coal mine in India's Assam state. Authorities said the bodies had been spotted but teams were still trying to reach them.
The miners have been trapped since Monday, but rescue teams could only reach them on Tuesday as it is located in a remote part of the Umrangso area in the northeastern state's Dima Hasao district.
They got trapped about 300 feet below ground level after water flooded in from a nearby disused mine.
"The mine got flooded yesterday — the source was internal. They (the miners) probably hit some water channel and water came out and flooded it," a local official told Reuters.
The Indian army as well as the national and state disaster relief forces are trying to reach the trapped men.
