JOWAI: The body of a 40-year-old woman, who went missing last Saturday, was found in an abandoned coal mine in East Jaintia Hills on Monday morning.
The woman, identified as Fatima Dkhar of Jalyiah village, went to collect firewood from a nearby jungle on February 4 and did not return, police said. She was with a friend.
