Jharia-Economy India
Coal scavengers burn coal piles in an open-cast mine on the outskirts of Jharia city in Dhanbad district, Jharkhand state, on March 7, 2025. Jharia coal mines start mining in 1894, covering about 110 square miles (280 square km), and consist of 23 large underground and nine large open-cast mines. About 600,000 people are engaged in these coal mines for their livelihood. Massive amounts of carbon dioxide are released into the atmosphere by coal fires. Locals in Jharkhand's Jharia face health problems and displacement due to coal mining, according to an Indian news report. (Photo by Rupak De Chowdhuri/NurPhoto)
