Question

Big conclusion of jariya haram

Answer 1

Unsafe and illegal mining has led to fires in coal deposits under the surface of the Jharia coalfields in Jharkhand’s Dhanbad district, which span over 160 square kilometres. They now pose a risk to the population living on the surface, could lead to cave-ins and gas spills and are a threat to rail transport. While the first subterranean blaze was noticed in 1916 and various reports and studies have sounded the alarm over the years, authorities began seeking a comprehensive solution only in the early 2000s. Officials maintain that Bharat Coking Coal Limited (BCCL), a subsidiary of Coal India Limited, inherited a troubled legacy when the mines were nationalised in the early 1970s. Most of the affected mines date back before Independence and nationalisation (private owners ran collieries earlier), when the thrust was on production and profit, with little regard for safety.
