“At
least 9 persons were killed in Odisha’s Sundergarh district on Saturday
following a massive slide in the coal overburden dump yard of nationalised
Mahanadi Coalfields Limited (MCL).
The accident occurred at about 10 am at MCL’s coal mines in the district’s
Basundhara area, about 500 km northwest of Bhubaneswar, when a overburden dump
caved in following the slide and buried about 20 persons, mostly local
villagers, who had gone to extract coal from it in the process.”
“Overburden is the waste material that lies above the coal
reserve that is removed before mining and dumped in a heap. Thousands of local
poor illegally extract low-grade coal from the heaps risking their lives to
earn their livelihood.”
