The incident is a stark reminder of the urgent need to address the safety concerns of mining workers in our country.""The mining sector plays a significant role in India's economy, providing valuable resources and employment opportunities. However, it is distressing to note that incidents such as the one in Dhanbad continue to occur, endangering the lives of our fellow citizens. The safety and well-being of our mining workers should be our topmost priority, and it is imperative that immediate action is taken to prevent further loss of life" he addedCPI MP Viswam further said that Strict measures must be taken to crack down on individuals and entities involved in illegal mining operations. Enhanced surveillance, intelligence gathering, and prompt action against those engaging in such activities are essential to deter future occurrences."It is crucial to address the underlying reasons that drive people to engage in illegal mining. Many local villagers resort to such activities due to the lack of alternative livelihood options and economic opportunities. Henceforth, focus needs to be made on initiatives that promote sustainable development, create employment opportunities, and improve the overall socio-economic conditions in mining areas" he added.CPI Upper House MP from Kerala further urged Minister to launch a thorough investigation into the incident at the illegal coal mine in Dhanbad."I further request that a comprehensive compensation and welfare scheme for the families affected by mining accidents, including healthcare support and rehabilitation immediately," he stated.Disclaimer: This post has been auto-published from an agency feed without any modifications to the text and has not been reviewed by an editor
