a fraud conviction which he says is politically motivated stay with us here on al-jazeera up next it's people in power. an underground fire has been burning for over a century beneath india's largest coal for two decades of under strange open calls mining has brought the fire to the surface with dreadful consequences for three courses of a million people thousands of homes for ready been destroyed their inhabitants forced into school it's a combination hospitals have been inundated with victims of toxic fumes so what

lies behind supporting human and environmental disaster. this is very yeah. wolverine's over into. the premier there who knew him when we were children it was a very small don't back together lee but he knew each other. through the kind of eldorado and that being. people from all over india came and said all of you because they would make the fortune of and today you look at the desolation of this

place the massive village of year and look at what is left of the village today this very cool has become a curse for us with both fires actually in government i believe. it's been exactly a century since underground finds the first ignited in the shari'ah coal fields in abandoned mines that went decommissioned properly coal was left to spontaneously combust and since then around forty million tonnes of the field with billions of dollars have gone up in smoke. situated in east india these come fields are the largest in the country covering two hundred seventy square kilometers nearly a tenth of this land is now regarded as unstable thanks to the more than sixty fires burning beneath it. see this year is crack because the fires are has been gradually approaching and that is that as it comes nearer nearer the

ground gets cracked up and then he'll eventually for people have deserted this place will go to the fires gradually gone under the houses and it does become a place where people generally live. eighteen years ago a chicago wild and others set up the save geria coal fields committee to help locals who are waking to find a fire literally on their doorsteps because i mean i guess it'll die. down move the number of your hands on their. bodies and you're not going to be on much our. shiria is vital to india's economy almost seventy percent of the country's electricity is coal based plus geria contains its main supply of prime coking coal an essential ingredient in steel production close they are burning in underground mines the fires went a big problem for the local population but in the one nine hundred seventy s. the government owned company bought it coking coal ltd b c c o started open cast

mining here taking the coal out from the surface but only one diesel decided to go involvement gas mining the idea was they'll get quick call and then god keep cool. with that idea they started to open which is actually not conducive to this place there was underground mining already done over here so there were a lot of galleries you know gully that tunnels really these people make and they extract all the ground of the galleys is always full of these of course and that catches fire when you went in for pentagons mining about already underground mining has been done you opened up the fears of the galleries and then there was a flea free flow of air inside and now you've got a massive fire. the cavities the fans the hollowing out on the ground have created a treacherous landscape the day before we arrived have you take a fall so far into collapsing ground that only the body of its driver can be

retrieved. and people like melty davy struggle just to keep their house this together. that is how well lot of part about what's been there that. above all things i mean. melty and her children if just meters from an open cost bit. it was a real get us out of the queue so i got a little part of yes a debt on other part ali but here the here to give us a line of our south america we're off on a lot of the got a lot of parts got a lot to get mom we want these similar law is in the camp what i know well i do that a lot of it what is that i know you got out of the council. apart from subsidence houses like multis also take a pounding from blasts in the nearby mines you see that there are something like small birds not really small the blast has been has taken place so they just go to

track up the place and that is the poor doesn't just play imo this sort of blast explains all the data. geria is one of the most polluted places in india thanks not just to the usual by products of coal mining but also to the myriad toxic gases released by the fires. these are all plagues of nitrogen fell for it and of course cool the gas gobbled more excited that's a very poisonous gas so far adapted to those who organise the certain extent and then you have clouds of nitrogen clinic guess somebody else but is that as of david that only you know how good it other guy obviously have i got it and they had the us about with us on the bombs on all gammel us. also listing a lot of whatever. tuberculosis and other respiratory illnesses are filling up the hospitals in this area an area.

he will be up to know what. went past god like a blast explosive blast. all of our dust you know what i want to do. was go by desperate. but it will be one who would have been. ninety nine percent effective hey. if you could give me hope you had to sit with them ok because you go. ahead if you're going to work on your sister this. is a great scheme a problem. less is i doing it. and i had this probably picked up with one you know my lady has it up and if there is an ideal back. public. if you go ahead. health that these are do what i was called but technically it is possible. things are unlikely to improve as prime minister nuri indra modi's

government is seeking to double india's coal production to one point five billion tonnes by twenty twenty and so many injuria depend on it for their survival on the bottom rung of the ladder here are those who sneak into the mines at night to scavenge coal which is then hauled into town to sell on the black market. without. almost you for there's a load of these here oh yeah they are not over there when you get up or did the public. good i'm going to do that don't. you know what it's like if i knew that. this is all illegal but many would starve without it and b.c.l. tends to turn a blind eye to the scavengers. even i get that i think i might hear. them don't let up on the board then but it. was all i think it was.

all i would i would probably get it i was glad my danielle. van dam was up which you know you know you've only seen. it where you may have had to get up looking up probably was not america will go to you're going to get it will have to live better than it ever will come let you know you got it going to get the negativity looking a little you got it at seven nothing. bilger it is the name of one of the new build projects the government in b.c. c.e.o. constructing in order to evacuate up to seven hundred thousand people after the disaster zone that is your area the scheme is known as the master plan but it's got off to a very slow start in the seven years since it began less than ten thousand have been moved. it is managed by the j. r.t.a. the jury rehabilitation and development authority which is overseen by the deputy commissioner for don but district for the last one and i think a lot of progress but there are some other issues that we have to hide out. that's

why at some time the pace then for some time is. quite small. but even the few that have been moved far from happy the biggest problem is that thousands of urban families are being shifted to a rural area fifteen kilometers away from where they were earning their livelihood from a combiner is a form of scavengers. having a tough time but they do. thank. you thank you actually get a nice lunch. or you hear. an answer. believe. me i do believe. we tell the other i don't know if i can only say he's got to be on any gotta go.

look anything about our. livelihood issues do. but this was much bigger when forced a lot of people was sifted to build because going to itself needs the market because so many people are. apart from that we are giving two years minimum and as for five hundred days. this five hundred days of minimum wage is less a gift than a guarantee of work for that length of time usually on the construction sites they've been moved to and that minimum wage is less than even scavengers like graham can wording before. that if you have a. chance of your car and what you may have already that's a movie that's a grand time i think that without having it myself when you. start to get

it yeah which is why i think it. other problems include a scarcity of basic amenities like education or health care task was to convince the people that they are in the. in their benefit. or some other sites so that if you have. no will go for that school and hospitals and other facilities. there seem to have been quite a few oversights in the master plan control is another one this tower block was only built a year ago but i thought. we could get out of here. in that line i live in. the left finally i lit it. but not if. i look down at doing it take a look in the eye and the kid. and i'm going to go and i would say you know

i think. sometimes you also receive. a more specific complaint is there there is some complaints in the building that can be to confide that community but . we have people of problem one place store that this type of problem in murders but do you if you you look at. what is no place it. that is also not so. big. but this isn't how many people in the new built see their old homes. just down the road from a similar settlement could comment on this on the construction. their home nobody has a plan you want their money. to be delivered to thin it up are years upon you want to come back when you lived up there. did the our government not upon whose television he got back.

here could only help but he. could only have. someone that can occur when they. travel but you. don't have a port do you have. the. money. don't look. for plumber come on i have to. put out a boom town local market is so. much a part of an endeavor to master told to look a. little bunker the. wooden home looking up on a part of your. income a chant as elsewhere the master plan has been moving slowly. by

lucy laconic generally lock up how would you counsel down anything. to get a job or not the obscenely to law i'll get you well i would say if. you're. going to the op would have sued mccombs come up with. the frustration of the resettled here is nearly matched by that of the construction company who the first port of call for their complaints. that you got yeah yeah yeah. yeah. no. i don't you know. that about you know he wasn't you. know that. ought to be in the back but they got the back don't want to get it. but somebody really had . it remains to be seen whether the settlements will eventually create their own source of livelihood and commerce but there is another group in the area who feel

that these have already been taken from them the peasant farmers who owned the land which is being built on. the last three or. so so everybody going well. he is a local politician and activist fighting for the rights of the villages you know very. well. i mean have. the c.c.l. boat much of this land in the one nine hundred eighty s. for the macondo opencast mine project with the promise of local jobs in the end the project was scrapped so the farmers continue to till the land then in two thousand and nine b.c. when the jr da started to encircle the village with tower blocks for the refugees

from syria. your dick your body building up on the bone were deliberating upon the year in germany but if you follow gives everybody a pretty good if they were able to work out of the idea of putting a building up and i got a lot of the building up on the. way and all that was either god or whatever gospel solo guy had ordered into the room by god if you do what i got out there. on the pentagon's budget can you see india did it there gentlemen oh god god oh god. a.j. i'm not going to pull a new one out at the young locus of my southgate gianluca but i can't think of september not going down another i was so michael just how so maybe i've been meddling and we don't know when they ask us a payment gives you i get mad when i look well nobody can see. this con can do them in the. scope you were seeking to not say here to sort of hope you know that they are. no more than i was to some one thing that he had.

in his office in the district capital done god has been inundated by villages bringing in their grievances because songs how can pick a song harder to move us you have. lost someone now this isn't this accompanied love. also minimal coupes the congo. blues the vocal. one concern is that me so probably. when i got i didn't they were didn't like young german get bottom edge on luggage i mean i know what i'm levelling they're going to download just gotta get i'm saying it will not going to go aka like he had lost all my medical does i'm going to go it's just not that nickel get. loved. in the nearby village of meccania the j. idea has been acquiring land for another settlement and pharmacist started to sit down

protest. construction hasn't started here yet but the grievances a similar to those in bell gorilla exchange of land for jobs that haven't materialized and the general sense of being cheated by the authorities have a man loquat look they may not like the job sound of hamas the man had the ad that well you have some money and know what's happening so you will see who new facilities will really work at the yemeni. yeah fifty percent is really high have one yet or when you just leave the car that he really are they going to deal with boss getting it wasan oh yeah both of these a government reports but within four years the amount of barren land jumped up from seven point five acres to sixteen and by law the government can force people to sell in fertile land or do you think this is a real that what are they going to get that program to load the other the other way yang will give out of activity out of what highly trained us to yeah what you hear

. non-violent this protest is local police have still threatened to charge these people with breach of the peace and the man in charge of the j.o.g.a. is inventing. comedy an example is not. going to. get well says i mean a lot but in my opening opening as you work to do. you know. how to look at the. beat you going to have to think about it to be put up in a group. yeah i do because i mean why would a good cover to sponsor. one of those trespass is so is the sum of the lands the j.o.g.a. wants to build on your do all look at the dog domain get a da bun got a bull got the going got. dummy see how women

a ding dong when they get good i mean look it's only thing. this is clearly first i'll lend you to many villages took the money offered by the jr da. i talked a little go looking for the i got that i'm gonna get but i'm going to get like i'm out i got that sob when i said i hang in there just got thing i mean given the opportunity to get good thing i started getting up i gotta get up i got a bit dumb enough to go or not but i'm in the computer age recently actually see how gas the globe just was right and because the line it was a. woman had to save all my days but she but all we have let us say. was i thought maybe one of the consequence of what they can have was about to buy something rather bizarre but i'm going to get what's called something. big something what about the you put what i know but we're committed to.

not word unity or even in the shadows of atomic war move on to bring it to some go or don't you know but. if you're going to think about the coming of the company i thought american troops are going to work under german how do you have come up with a regular talk a little boy and i sometimes argue we're not a view of the crowd or we're going to go home ugh. whoever wins in the open air it doesn't seem that the fuss it may get creates two waves of refugees are going to stop burning anytime soon i shall go suspects deeply cynical motives if you go around the whole of the year don't you had a poll for you would never see five writing going on anywhere that is something to be zealous not done and if you ask me they have not done it deliberately but why

because you see the board of first address in the fire the fire traveled underneath using more and more places become dangerous so people have to be record while the people evacuated then they get their diet plans for expansion of them out of the open guys minds for better than the gore group. the c.c.l. declined our request for an interview so for another opinion on why the fires haven't been put out we turn to a scientist from india central institute of mining and fuel research he only agreed to talk to us in an unofficial capacity. the guy who didn't come for us in forty years but infrastructure men and decision making good decision making big combined effort is what is stopping this from happening i feel this is the only policy decision sponsor this is a v.m. on points you can see just yet simply saying just busy and who not own companies

will not begin what little that we had the technology to build the fire her. i didn't get. their production their other teams there be any decent production most other than sit. in the. case. so. we can not think unemployment of this thing. you can say. whatever the truth behind the matter is resigned to the into the town he grew up in. when she needed it jed yeah but today it is destroying. bizzle is going on and they want to double the production by two liter boozing and that gets more and more my mining will be done over and one many more villages will have to be shipped so eventually this place is going to become absolutely desolate was good the struggle continues to get b.c.

seattle and the government to take responsibility for letting this conflagration rage out of control and putting hundreds of thousands of lives in the line of fire . in russia many cuddy's migrant black. gold grazing. echoing an increasing need for many a global trend. labor force left vulnerable to exploitation and xenophobia. people in power investigate. moscow's little caca stand. at this time.
