What will be our future? आमचे भवितव्य काय?

In coming years, government has sanctioned lease to 63 companies for mining activites in Maharashtra. Out of those, 47 are in Vidarbha and 23 mines alone in Chandrapur district. Also 23 Thermal Power rojects are sanctioned in Vidarbha, out of which 11 alone are in Chandrapur district. (All figures are taken from Environemtal Impact Assessment documents, and clearences given by MoE&F) The only Thermal Power Plant, CSTPS, cause enormous levels of RSPM (respirable suspended particulate matters) and Fly Ash which covers the whole sky of Chnadrapur town and nearby area. It also adds to the increasing temperature of the city. Thermal pollution has badly affected the human and terrestrial as well as aquatic ecosystems. In addition to that, 3 sponge iron companies are running at its high in Tadali MIDC (extension of chandrapur MIDC). Concentrated Effluent from chemical companies is released to Irai river which destoys the aquatic life due to low quantity of original river water, which in fact is not at all in a position to sustain any effluent load.
The proposed Lohara Coal Mine by Adani group of companies is to be set up just adjacent to the buffer zone of Tadob-Adhari Tiger reserve (TATR). Presently they will aquire approx. 1600 hectares of land and obviously ask for more land in future for their expansion or waste soil dumping. This directly violoates the environmental parameters and disturbs the buffer zone. Supreme Court had given clearence to Human River Irrigation Project which will directly cut down the Tiger Corridor thereby restricitng the migration of TATR animals to North part of the distirct. Proposed site for coal mine by Maharastra State Mining Corporation Limited (MSMCL) directly comes in to the buffer zone and very close to the core zone of TATR. The other side of TATR will be aquisited by Murpar mines. Thus all the sides of this core zone of TATR will be covered by mines only, thereby clutching over the beautiful forest of Tadoba. The environmental impact of these mines is next to think over.
Accoridng to CSE citizen's report-
Chandrapur- not only figure among the 150 most backward districts of the country but also ranked 26th out of 35 districts of Maharashtra, on the HDI (Human Development Index). Chandrapur, the largest producer of coal and limestone in the state, has only half of its villages linked by pucca roads, while only 43 per cent of households have access to safe drinking water. Health facilities are poor, with the infant mortality rate as high as 106 compared to the state average of 74. The per capita income of Chandrapur is more than 20 per cent lower than the state average; about 47 per cent families in the distirct are below poverty line. (from RICH LANDS POOR PEOPLE, Is sustainable mining possible?, State of India's ENVIRONMENT, A CITIZENS' REPORT)
If this is the statistics of development when the first mine in the district was established in 1897 and mining history of the district dates back to more than a century ago, how can we say that the industrialisation is bringing change in the quality and standards of living in the district. In fact the quality of basic aminities detoriated badly over the period. Experiences and statistics shows that only few outsiders are benefited by the mining industry whereas locals who lost their lands never get their part of development.
