Rescue bids for 17 miners

Source: Xinhua | September 24, 2012, Monday | Print Edition
RESCUE efforts are under way at two coal mines in northeast China where a total of 17 people are trapped underground.

Fire broke out yesterday at the Longshan mine in Heilongjiang Province, trapping 11 miners.

There were 13 men working in the mine at the time but two were lifted to safety.

The accident happened at around 8am at the mine in Youyi County of Shuangyashan City, the county government said in a statement.

It said that the county's coal management bureau had ordered the mine to suspend production on September 3, a day after its license had expired but work had continued illegally.

On Saturday, flooding at the Jiayi mine in the same province's Jidong County trapped six miners.
