Islamabad, Dec 28 (IBNS):  A portion of a mine collapsed in Balochistan's Dukki district of Pakistan and left at least three miners dead on Thursday, media reports said.

At least three coal miners died while two others were rescued when a mine collapsed in Balochistan's Dukki district on Thursday morning, District Police Officer (DPO) Sardar Hashim told DawnNewsTV.

The collapse occurred at a time when the five miners were working thousands of feet deep inside a mine, reports said.

Coal miners launched a rescue operation to save those trapped inside the collapsed mine.

However, only two were safely moved out from the structure.

Bodies of the dead miners have not been recovered so far.

"There are almost no safety arrangements for life security of miners," Bakht Nawab, an official of the coal miners association in Balochistan, told Dawn News.
