Which is about 500-700 feet deep. In which common people have lost their lives in some accidents this year. Last year itself, a young man died due to drowning in the same mine. Even after this the Mining Department did not take any action to close and seize the mine. Due to negligence in mining, some mines are getting filled with rain water. Whereas there is a rule to fill the mine after the material is extracted. But still accidents are happening in closed mines.
