Mine fires in Indian coalfields

Abstract

Coal-mine fires are causing loss of valuable assets in India. Fires in the Jharia coalfield in particular, have caused loss of scarce prime coking coal resources. Coal-mine fires endanger safety and stability and cause environmental hazards. Prior to nationalization, fire control measures were constrained because of a lack of resources. In the post-nationalization period, several effective steps have been taken to contain, control, and liquidate coal-mine fires. The government is keen on speedy implementation of fire control projects. Research and development for innovative methods has been a part of this endeavor.
