What is the impact of illegal coal mining in India and how is it explained

Exploration of the illegal coal mining problem in India and an explanation of the issue.
Illegal coal mining in India has severe social, economic, and environmental impacts. Here is an exploration of some key points:
  • Undermines safety regulations leading to accidents and loss of life
  • Damage to the environment through deforestation, water contamination, and air pollution
  • Loss of government revenue due to tax evasion and illegal extraction
  • Exploitation of labor with poor working conditions and low pay
  • Contributes to land degradation and displacement of communities
The issue can be explained by weak enforcement of regulations, corruption, poverty driving individuals to engage in illegal mining, and lack of sustainable alternatives for livelihoods in mining regions.
