A ‘No-Go Zone' for mining in Chhattisgarh has been opened up for coal mining ,The Forest Advisory Committee (FAC) of the Union Environment Ministry has granted  preliminary forest clearance to the Parsa opencast coal mine, to be operated by a unit of billionaire Gautam Adani’s Adani Enterprises Limited, in the forested Surguja and Surajpur districts of Chhattisgarh. The mine falls in one of the largest contiguous stretches of very dense forest in central India called Hasdeo Aarand . Over 2 lakh trees in the Hasdeo Aarand  forest, spread over 841 hectares, will be lost if the Parsa opencast coal mining project takes off. 

 Not only is it a dense forest, Hasdeo Aarand is an important elephant corridor and has a huge hydrological impact on the region. Tribal here are completely dependent on forest produce.  

Last year, Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel met Tribals who had marched more than 300 kilometres to the state’s capital Raipur. The CM allegedly told the protestors that the Central government was pushing for coal mining in the region. However, the final approval  came from the Chhattisgarh government, after which the cutting  of trees began in the region.

Lets pledge to save our Forests for the forest dwelling people and for the generations to come.

With India ranking 120th among 122 countries in the water quality index. 1 in every 8 deaths in India is attributed to air pollution. 14 of the 15 most polluted cities are in India.
