Jharia Coal Mine Illegal Pickers
Illegal coal pickers from Bokahapadi village successfully negotiate a daylight raid in Jharia coal mine and hurry home to safely burn the hard coal for sale. Jharia is one of the most important coal mines in India and one of the largest in Asia. Before coal was unearthed in this area, Jharia was a belt of dense forests inhabited by tribes. Thousands of poor, mostly unskilled, migrants from neighboring states have settled in Jharia over the years. Most of them collect coal illegally to pay for their two meals a day.
