At the Meghalaya mine

After nearly a month a body has been located in a rat hole mine where 15 miners have been trapped since December 13 (“Navy robot locates body in Meghalaya mine”, January 18). One can only say that this shows the frivolous attitude towards the safety and well-being of people. Why couldn’t the government have attempted a coordinated rescue much earlier despite having ample resources?
