  3. ‘No one will remember us’: India’s hero ‘rat hole miners’ who helped rescue 41 men from the Himalayan tunnel

    Just two hours after the men were rescued, a list of 90 men who took part in the effort was circulated by an Uttarakhand government official on a media WhatsApp group. Conspicuously missing were the names of the 12 “rat miners” who put their lives on the line to complete that final breakthrough.

  4. On all fours in ‘rat holes’, the heroes of Silkyara scrape by on the margins

    Rat-hole mining is banned in India as a dangerous practice; showered by praise, a 12-member team of rat-hole miners ask for human dignity, a house, a road, fair wages, and an assurance that such a collapse will never be repeated.
