JAJPUR,MAY 31 : Two workers were killed in a cave-in incident on Wednesday in an illegal quarry at Lunibara black stone quarry under Jenapur police station of Jajpur district. A portion of the hillock caved in while they were doing illegal black stone- quarry works in a proclean machine. Both the deceased workers have been identified as Santanu Khilar (28) the operator and Apu Rout (17) the helper of the proclean machine. Both died on the spot.

Police seized the bodies and sent them to the local government hospital at Dharamsala for autopsy , said the IIC of Jenapur police station, Umakanta Nayak. A contractor illegally engaged some workers to collect black stones though he has not obtained any permission from the authorities for lifting stones from the hill. We will take necessary actions against the persons who illegally engaged deceased workers and others in the illegal quarry work, said the Tehasildar of Dharamsala, Swagat Das.
