Hnahthial (Mizoram)

Three more bodies were recovered on Tuesday from the debris of the stone quarry which collapsed at Maudarh village in Mizoram's Hnahthial district on Monday.

So far, 11 bodies have been recovered and one person is still missing.

Teams of BSF, Assam Rifles, NDRF, state police and district administration are engaged in a search operation to retrieve the body of the remaining person.

Meanwhile, Prime Minister Narendra Modi who is currently attending the G20 summit in Bali, expressed deep grief over the loss of lives.

My thoughts are with those who lost their loved ones due to the tragic stone quarry collapse in Mizoram. An ex-gratia of Rs. 2 lakh would be given from PMNRF to the next of kin of each deceased. The injured would be given Rs. 50,000: PM @narendramodi
