Dear all,
The above mail describes how vulnerable the people working on mining industry are, first due to the monopoly of Coal India in this sector and the uncertainties arising due to policy paralysis at higher legislative and judicial level.
Many hands are on the verge of losing their jobs hence affecting many lives just by a single stroke of hand of judiciary.
The reason behind such harsh judgment is obvious. First it signifies the supremacy of law above all. Second, it sends a warning that absence of a proper law or existing loopholes in any policy can never justify any unlawful and manipulated act of corruption. Thirdly, it puts a future deterrence on those players who get induced by the lucrative but corrupt ways of manipulating the laws. Fourth, the most important outcome, it enhanced the good faith of a common man in our nation's judicial system.
More importantly, the unlawful acts happening in mining industry can never be justified on the mere ground that unlawful activities are prevalent in other sectors too.
But this judgment doesn't alone solve all other problems arising because of its own. The ill effects like fear of losing jobs by the persons in this sector, huge economic losses suffered by the banks and coal shortage to power industries
must be addressed urgently, so that none of the innocent feel getting punished for the crime he never committed.
Certain solutions like lateral entries in public sector mining companies at all levels that are facing shortage of workforce and splitting Coal India to promote competition thus ensuring smooth coal supply to power industries will be appreciated.
NGO's role can never be neglected, in bringing the environmental concerns in public notice. Finally, these are the people, government and judiciary, who decide the authenticity, relevance and severity of such concerns.
"As things become worse before they get better", the same thing applies here to mining industry that has been neglected since decades.
This can be seen as an opportunity to start again and to fabricate a fairer policy on a 'Tabula Rasa'.
Warm Regards
Kumar Gourav.
A Proud Miner.
