The rescue operation continues with the concerted efforts of the National Disaster Response Force (NDRF), the Indian Army, and the Assam Rifles.

According to Roushan Kumar Singh, Inspector of the 1st Battalion of NDRF, the body was recovered by the team around 7:30 a.m. following a routine check of the water level, which had decreased by six meters due to overnight dewatering efforts using five pumps.

On January 8, the body of Ganga Bahadur Shreth, a resident of Udayapur district in Nepal, was recovered from the flooded mine.
