A major portion of the mine had collapsed due to fog and efforts were going on to clean the mine, the Chief Mining Inspector said.

About 60 people were working in the mine when the blast occurred, coalminers said.

Rescue sources said that they were facing difficulty due to non-availability of a hospital in the nearby area.
