Read the extract below and mention the steps that to be taken to prevent the
disasters as mentioned below by both government and the industrialists.
The Chasnala Mine Disaster occurred on the evening of 27
December 1975, and killed 372 miners in Dhanbad, India.
On 27 December 1975, an explosion rocked the Chasnala
Colliery in Dhanbad, India. The explosion was most likely
caused by sparks from equipment igniting a pocket of
flammable methane gas. Even a small spark can ignite the
surges of gas that may suddenly fill a mine. Clouds of coal
dust raised by the explosion and accompanying shock wave
contribute to these sorts of mine explosions, making the
flames self-sustaining. The local workers' union claimed a
total death toll of almost 700 people. The government's
official death toll, however, is 372. The Chasnala Colliery's
records were poorly kept, and many bodies were never
recovered, so there is no way of knowing how many miners
actually perished in the Chasnala Mine Disaster.
The Chasnala Disaster inspired the 1979 film Kaala Patthar, directed by Yash Chopra.
The Chasnala Disaster was one of the worst in Indian history.
