In this photos, we can see the white colored element in water, the local people call it salary, it's the dominant reason for the declining productivity of the farms and destruction of the crops. In rains, it comes from mines to farms and it destroys crops.
The Mines owner dumped its mine waste on the grazing land which was the primary sources of grass for the village people, but as due to heavy dumping the grassland has destroyed so it badly affected the livestock of the village, now only a few people have livestock. It affected people economically, due to this they lose their income as well as now they are dependent on others for basic things like milk.
The condition of the transport system in the village is very poor, there is no bus service for people, they have to wait for 2 to 3 hours for private vehicles. the roads are in very miserable condition. due to overloaded trucks, people face problems. in case of emergency, its become more difficult.
In this village, people have a canal, but it is not that useful as the white water from mines comes in the canal and it pollutes water so therefore it's not useful for the people.
The mines also affected the children in the village, mostly it affected their education and health, as their fathers are working in mines and having less payment while mothers mostly don't have any job to do, many children are facing the issue of malnutrition. In schools, most of the students think that they don't need to study hard as they don't have any scope of studying after completing 12th so they just complete 12th and starts working in mines. So it creates a vicious circle of poverty and people are from generations trapped in this circle.
