The Jharkhand government has started opening of the mines after prolong closer in the Iron ore region, but the pollution level has also started increasing in Badajamda town. Despite all the rules and regulation, the transporters are flouting the norms at Noamundi and Badajamda area thus creating health hazard particularly in Badajamda.
The Section 21 of the Air (prevention and control) pollution Act 1981 has made it compulsory to obtain No Objection certificate for operating mining activity from ministry of environment and from state pollution control board. The Act and Jharkhand state pollution control board guidelines clearly directs that regular sprinkling of water on haul roads to reduce the level of pollutant due to movement of vehicles during transportation and the vehicles carrying the Iron ore loaded must be covered with tarpaulin or such covering.
The Mines lease owner neither sprinkle water on haul roads nor do they force the transporter to follow the environmental norms. The people living in the Badajamda area are badly affected with pollution.
