Hello. I feel really terrible about the current coal mining situation in India. Many lives have been lost, properties destroyed, so many losses for the people of that country. It's really pathetic how the government has failed in their duty to protect the citizens. It's even more worrisome that they have also failed to compensate the victims. It's a pity

I find it disturbing that thousands of acres of forest land are destroyed to mining, foraging elephants attracted by the crops in the fields often enter villages, resulting in an alarmingly high number of human-elephant conflict situations. This shouldnt be. This is wrong. I mean the selfishness of some people shouldnt be a problem for all

That's so sad about the situation with the coal and all the wildlife it's misplacing. It was kind of crazy reading the story about having the elephant crash into those people's houses -- i can't imagine having a giant two ton creature come through my wall! I'm glad no one was hurt, but it still sounds pretty scary.
