Mining activity is called so because:
- Mining refers to the process of extracting valuable resources from the earth.
- Because it is dangerous for the workers, it is termed the "killing industry".
- Underground mines have hazardous working conditions that could put workers' lives in jeopardy.
- Water flooding is also a possibility in the area. Infrastructure collapse is more likely in enclosed areas. Miners suffer injuries and accidents as a result of this.
- They are also exposed to poisonous and harmful compounds that can hurt their health and have an effect on their lungs when inhaled.
- For these reasons, it is frequently referred to as the "killing industry".
