Upon receiving the information, the police also rushed to the scene. Fortunately, no casualties have been reported so far. The blaze started in a section of the elevator during the morning shift change, reportedly due to a short circuit. This lift is used by workers and staff to enter and exit the mines, leading to panic among the workers at the time of the incident, as the area is usually crowded during shift changes.
