My name is Subhash Gayali. Today I am visiting Dhanbad area in Jharkhand. Here people are complaining that the Coal mining companies are not filling up the open cast and underground mines as per law after finishing of mining activity. They demand that the company should be working on leveling the surface to give the land back to locals. There could be a big scam in not leveling the mines which needs to be investigated.

My name is Bhagirath Verma. I am calling from Raipur in Chhattisgarh. I support the breaking of Coal law in Gare village in Raigarh. I request all adivasis to do similar act in their villages and take control of the minerals beneath their lands. I have heard that administration is planning to put a case of illegal mining on the villager of Gare. I protest this. The villagers of Gare are following the path of Gandhi and that is the correct path. For more Verma Ji can be reached at 09039142049
