Mine closed after rockslide

After the rockslide, locals have also called on authorities to close the mine, on grounds that it caused environmental problems, including damage to their homes from limestone blast debris.
Khao Yoi district chief Wisa Pulsirirat said Saneh visited the scene yesterday and ordered the mine to be indefinitely closed. He said Saneh had also allowed representatives from the Council of Engineers and the Engineering Institute of Thailand to join a fact-finding committee to determine the incident’s cause. Wisa said Saneh had also ordered a probe into whether the engineer on duty at the mine when the rockslide occurred had been reckless, leading to others’ deaths.
