Those whose bodies were recovered on Saturday have been identified as 27-year-old Lijen Magar, a resident of Umrangso, 57-year-old Khushi Mohan Rai from Fakiragram and 37-year-old Sarat Goyari hailing from Thailapara, according to The Hindu.

The four deceased labourers are among the nine workers trapped inside the coal mine in Umrangsu on Monday after a sudden gush of water flooded the quarry.

As rescue operations intensify at the waterlogged coal mine in Umrangso, Assam, personnel recovered a fourth body on January 11, leaving five miners still unaccounted for.
