    Jharkhand mine management neglected warnings
  • According to the head of Directorate General of Mine Safety, management of the Lalmatia mines in Jharkhand ignored warning signs before the 29th December cave-in of an open cast mine.

    DGMS conducts periodical checks at mines to ensure workers' safety.

    "But any number of sample checks or statutory bodies cannot prevent disasters unless the mine management remains alive to the issue," said the Directorate-General.
