QUETTA: Two miners were killed when a mudslide struck a coal mine in Shahrag. According to rescue sources, the incident occurred on Thursday when an unexpected collapse of earth inside a local coal mine buried two miners, Saryal and Shah Baig, under the debris. Fellow miners retrieved the bodies on a self-help basis and shifted them to the hospital, where, after necessary medico-legal formalities, the bodies were handed over to the families.
