一 | Ankara, Oct 15 (UNI) Forty-one people have died following an explosion in a coal mine in northern Turkey, the country's president said on Saturday.
The discovery of the final missing body brings the rescue operation to an end, more than 20 hours after Friday's deadly blast.
Earlier the interior minister said 58 people working in the mine when the blast went off were rescued or got out by themselves.
Suleyman Soylu said 10 people remained in hospital and one was discharged.
Around 110 people were in the mine at the time of Friday's blast, almost half of them at more than 300m deep, according to BBC news.
Emergency crews had worked through the night, digging through rock to try to reach survivors.
Family and friends of the missing could also be seen at the mine, anxiously awaiting news of their loved ones.
President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has been visiting the site in Bartin province, along with other ministers, and confirmed the final missing person had been found dead.
Authorities said Turkish prosecutors have launched an investigation into the cause of the explosion but initial indications were that the blast was caused by firedamp, a term referring to methane forming an explosive mixture in coal mines.
It is believed to have occurred at around 300m deep. At the time, some 49 people had been working in the "risky" zone between 300 and 350m underground, Mr Soylu said.
Energy Minister Fatih Donmez said there were partial collapses inside the mine, but no ongoing fires, and ventilation was working properly.
The mine belongs to the state-owned Turkish Hard Coal Enterprises.
Turkey witnessed its deadliest coal mining disaster in 2014, when 301 people died after a blast in the western town of Soma.
UNI GNK。 Filmmaker Subhash Ghai remembered the legendary actor Dharmendra with deep affection and admiration. When the director went to the late actor with the script of Krodhi, he not only said yes to it but also came on board as a producer. Ghai reflected on their bond and shared personal memories that highlighted Dharmendra’s discipline, warmth and humility.
He told Filmfare, "I learnt from him that daily physical exercise and living with laughter are essential. During the shoot of Krodhi, he had a fever, but after seeing a tough scene ahead, he asked me to give him one hour. He started exercising on set and then shot till late evening."
Ghai also recalled how Dharmendra never hikes his fee even after delivering blockbusters. He continued, "I remember when I narrated the script of Krodhi to him for the first time at his house. He instantly said that not only would he act in it, but he would also produce it under his banner. I was speechless. He never went after money, only after a good role. He never increased his fee even after any blockbuster film. We knew him as a big child and respected him deeply."
