Dhanbad area chokes on smoke from BCCL mine fire Rain aggravates situation for 200 residents who threaten dharna if permanent measures aren t taken
Huge amount of smoke and gas after rainfall on Sunday morning started rising out of the crater of an underground fire of COCP Colliery of BCCL’s Bhowra area, affecting around 200 families of the Idgah locality.
A temporary barricade has been put up around the area after local residents informed the BCCL management.
“We woke up this morning inhaling and choking on gas and went to the adjoining bushy area to find huge amount of gas and smoke emanating out of a crater that had developed last year,” said Khushid Alam, central secretary of Bihar Janta Khan Mazdoor Sangh, affiliated to Hind Mazdoor Sabha.
If the agitating farmer unions have alleged the talks with the Centre have been a “monologue” with the government ignoring their suggestions, the workers’ unions have now voiced a similar apprehension.
Ten central trade union organisations on Thursday boycotted a virtual meeting called by labour minister Santosh Gangwar to finalise the rules for the new labour laws, alleging an online discussion would be a “monologue” rather than a meaningful discussion.
Labour ministry sources said the Prime Minister’s Office had suggested the meeting keeping in mind the agitating farmers’ allegation that the three new farm laws had never been discussed with them before their passage in September.
