New Delhi, Dec 23:
The National Green Tribunal (NGT) has issued notice to the Ministry of Coal and other respondents in connection with alleged environmental violations and public health hazards linked to activities in Dhanbad district of .

The order was passed by the Principal Bench of the NGT while hearing an Original Application filed by Vijay Kumar Mahto, a resident of Kurmidih village under Kusunda area of Dhanbad. The applicant has raised serious concerns over coal mining operations in Godhar–Kurmidih and adjoining areas, which fall under Cluster-6 mining zone, alleging large-scale environmental degradation and neglect of affected local communities.

According to the application, coal mining activities, allegedly outsourced by Bharat Coking Coal Limited (BCCL) to private entities, have been carried out without adequate welfare or rehabilitation measures for residents. The plea highlights incidents of underground fires, land subsidence, gas explosions, cracks in houses, and damage to schools and agricultural land. It also flags severe health risks, including respiratory diseases such as asthma, tuberculosis, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, attributed to prolonged exposure to coal dust.

The Tribunal noted that the application raises “substantial issues relating to compliance of environmental norms.” Although the matter ordinarily falls within the jurisdiction of the Eastern Zonal Bench, the Principal Bench agreed to hear the case considering the nature and gravity of the grievances. The office has been directed to register the related interlocutory application separately.

The NGT has directed issuance of notice to all respondents, with the applicant instructed to serve copies and file an affidavit of service.

The matter has been listed for further hearing on March 13, 2026. •

Two Dead, Dozens Injured As Protests Over Land Eviction Turn Violent in Assam’s Karbi Anglong dist

Guwahati, Dec 24: The situation in West Karbi Anglong and Karbi Anglong districts of remains tense but under control as of Wednesday morning, following three days of violent protests centered on demands to evict alleged ‘illegal encroachers’ from protected tribal grazing lands.

The unrest, primarily in the Kheroni area of West , erupted on December 22 when protesters torched the ancestral residence of Tuliram Ronghang, Chief Executive Member of the Karbi Anglong Autonomous Council (KAAC), and vandalized several shops. Violence escalated on December 23, resulting in two deaths, one tribal protester from injuries sustained in clashes and one non-tribal civilian charred in an arson attack, along with dozens injured, including over 50 police personnel.

The protests stem from long-standing demands by Karbi tribal organizations for the removal of "outsiders," mainly non-tribal settlers, from Village Grazing Reserves (VGR) and Professional Grazing Reserves (PGR). These lands fall under the Sixth Schedule protections administered by the KAAC, aimed at safeguarding indigenous communities. Agitators had been on a hunger strike for nearly two weeks before tensions boiled over, reportedly triggered by the relocation of strikers for medical care, which some misinterpreted as arrests.

In response, authorities imposed prohibitory orders under Section 163 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Suraksha Sanhita across West Karbi Anglong, banning gatherings and enforcing night curfews. Mobile internet services were suspended in both districts on December 23 to prevent the spread of rumors. Additional security forces, including Army flag marches, have been deployed, and Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma stated he is closely monitoring developments, emphasizing dialogue for resolution.

A tripartite meeting involving the state government, KAAC, and protester representatives is scheduled for late December to address the grievances. While no fresh violence was reported overnight, heavy police patrolling continues in affected areas to maintain peace.
