QUETTA: Two miners lost their lives and two others were wounded inside the Duki coal mine on Saturday.

The labourers faced the catastrophe after they went deep inside the mine and it caved in because of a methane gas explosion.

Levies force said that two miners died and two others were rescued by their colleagues.

The dead and the injured were taken to the district hospital where the bodies were identified as that of Jan Muhammad and Alizai, both hailing from Afghanistan.

The bodies were dispatched to their home country while the injured were being treated in the hospital.
