Extended Summary:

Adani Mining’s Sarguja expansion stalls.

An expert body of the Environment Ministry has put on hold a proposal by Adani Mining to expand one of Indias biggest coal mines, in Sarguja, Chhattisgarh, for not complying with existing environmental clearances.

Resident tribal groups and activists have complained that the operations of the mine, temporarily cleared by the Supreme Court to operate at a capacity of 10 million tonnes per annum (mtpa), have over the years led to heightened dust pollution from the increased vehicular traffic, unchecked burning of coal and contamination of common water sources due to the discharge of mine-waste.

According to estimates, 452 million tonnes can be extracted from the mine and the project will displace 114 families.
