Coal India Arm Conducts Drone Survey of Dhanbad Mine Gas Leak Areas
A Coal India subsidiary, CMPDIL, has initiated a drone survey in Dhanbad, Jharkhand, to investigate gas emissions from underground mines. The survey aims to identify leakage points and causes following reports of carbon monoxide leaks that allegedly led to one death and sickness in 12 people. Authorities are relocating approximately 1,000 locals from affected areas like Rajput Basti and Masjid Muhalla. The survey, covering a 400-meter radius, is expected to take 15-20 days for analysis, with findings to inform containment measures.
