This should not have happened but has happened. I mean fatalities. Years back during Sri Sibal's tenure a detailed circular on slope and its instability was issued. There he had also impressed upon the the installation of continuous monitoring of slopes with Slope Stability Monitoring radar (SSR)
Has it been done. . Let the operators(Mine owners) not react only when accident happen / when violations are pointed out
Few days earlier there was yet another accident in Vetrivel Explosives(Tamilnadu) again quite a few fatalities. In this case violations reportedly were pointed out as well . In this case may be authorities hands are tied with political pressure not to seal the establishment
These, in short, put mining in bad light.
Announcing compensation is not the solution
High time engineers react

Update on ECL Rajmahal Coal Mine Accident
Rescue Operations going on
Ex- Gratia compensation of Rs. 5 Lakh to each family of the deceased announced
Control Room Set Up at Project Office of Rajmahal Open Cast Expansion Project
CMD, Eastern Coalfields Limited (ECL) has reported that an incidence of overburden dump slide/subsidence has occurred in the second shift of 29.12.2016 at about 7.30 P.M. in the Rajmahal Open Cast Expansion Project in district Goda, Jharkhand, causing the unfortunate demise of 7 workers. The company has announced an ex-gratia compensation of Rs. 5 lakhs each to the family of the deceased, in addition to the amount to be paid under the Workmen's Compensation Act. All the necessary help to the families of the deceased is being extended by ECL. Two persons have met with injuries and treated in the Area Hospital. One of them has been sent to Durgapur for further treatment.
Prima facie, it is observed that the incidence is unprecedented, since an area of 300 m length by 110 m wide solid floor of the Over Burden dump area has slid down by about 35 m involving around 9.5 million cubic meters of earth material. This could be due to failure of the bench edge along the hidden fault line/slip.
Senior management of ECL and State Government officials have been supervising the rescue operations since yesterday evening. Till 11 A.M. today, 3 excavators and 7 dump trucks have been located. NDRF Team has also been engaged for rescue and relief operations.
An Inquiry has been ordered in the incident by the Director General of Mines Safety and a High Level Committee of Experts has been constituted by Coal India Limited to investigate into the causes of the accident.
A control room has been set up at the project office of Rajmahal Open Cast Expansion Project of ECL and Shri R.R. Amitabh, GM, Mining is in charge of control room and his contact no. is 9771447171.
