However, the Court seemed dissatisfied with the submission and said:<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><em>&#8220;72 members of NDRF are already there but still no result.

The plea has also sought a direction to the Centre and other authorities concerned to prepare a standard operating procedure (SOP) for rescue operations in &#8220;mines and other similar conditions&#8221;. Directions\u00a0to the Centre and the state to utilise the services of the technical wing of the Indian Armed Forces , the Indian Army, Indian Navy and Indian Air Force, in the operation immediately to rescue the 15 miners have also been sought.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The rat-hole mine, that involves digging of narrow tunnels, usually three-four feet high, for workers to enter and extract coal, atop a hillock fully covered with trees in Meghalaya&#8217;s East Jaintia Hills district, was flooded when water from the nearby Lytein river gushed into it, trapping 15 miners.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><em>(Source: PTI)<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Supreme Court: After\u00a0the Centre told the Court that they were facing
