Coal Mining In India's Jharia

Coal Mining In India's Jharia

13/02/2012 22:11

JHARIA, INDIA - FEBRUARY 09: A woman holds a piece of coal she collected from the dump site of an open-cast coal mine in the village of Jina Gora on February 09, 2012 near Jharia, India. Villagers in India's Eastern State of Jharkhand scavenge coal illegally from open-cast coal mines to earn a few dollars a day. Claiming that decades old underground burning coal seams threatened the homes of villagers, the government has recently relocated over 2300 families to towns like Belgaria. Villagers claim they were promised schools, hospitals and free utilities for two years, which they have not received. As the world's power needs have increased, so has the total global production of coal, nearly doubling over the last 20 years according to the World Coal Association.
