Dhanbad: Incidents of land subsidence and cave-ins are continuously coming to light from all around the Katras coal belt. People involved in illegal coal mining have gone from rags to riches. Through illegal coal mining, people have acquired land, built houses, bought vehicles, and built resorts. In this work, no one cared about the safety and security of the general public. BCCL management, CISF, police, and administration provided full support and leeway for illegal coal mining. Today, news of land cave-ins and subsidence is coming from all directions. How many people are falling prey to death? How many dreams are turning to ashes? How many homes are being ruined? 
Now the question arises here, who after all ran their business of illegal mining in this area for a long time?
Now the question is not just about coal, but about land, life, and future generations.
Sometimes the face of a businessman, sometimes the guise of a public representative, and sometimes the identity of a social worker...
But the public is watching everything. Now it is not the public's turn to be afraid, it is the turn of those to answer who have been hollowing out the land of the coal belt for years.
The voices raised from Angarpathra, Ramkanali, Keshalpur, Chhatabad will now reach Katras, Chaitudih, and Lakarkad.
Who extracted the coal, who earned from it? And who is paying the price?
We need answers to these questions. Find out before it is too late. Because this black game of coal is not over yet, it is still ongoing.
