==Illegal coal mining==
India is the third largest coal producer in the world. Mining is a highly organized industry, but there are gaps and loopholes. Beyond, or rather underneath, the well-organised industry, there is a large sector described as [[illegal mining]]. According to Haradhan Roy, the veteran political leader and trade unionist, about a million tonnes of coal are produced by illegal collieries in Raniganj alone. The total annual national production from such mines in India is not less than 20 million tonnes. In 2001 there were at least 33 identified sites of unauthorized mining in Raniganj. Of these many were in Salanpur, Sripur, Satgram and Sodepur Areas. Seven are outside ECL's lease-hold land. However, apart from the identified areas, such activities are spread across the entire region.<ref name=illegalmining1>{{cite web | url = https://www.academia.edu/3141696/Unintended_Collieries_People_and_Resources_in_Eastern_India | title = Unintended Collieries: People and Resources in Eastern India | first= Kuntala|last=Lahiri-Dutt | work= Resource Management in Asia-Pacific, Working Paper No. 44|date=2003| publisher = RMAP Working Papers | accessdate = 11 August 2018}}</ref>

Systematic mining and movement of coal by the railways, started in the mid-nineteenth century in the [[Raniganj Coalfields]], led by [[Carr, Tagore and Company]].<ref>Akkori Chattopadhyay, ''Bardhaman Jelar Itihas O Lok Sanskriti'', in Bengali, Vol I, pp. 46-51, Radical, 2001, {{ISBN|81-85459-36-3}}</ref><ref>{{cite web | url = https://blogs.economictimes.indiatimes.com/onmyplate/coal-dust-in-the-tagore-album/ | title = Coal Dust in the Tagore Album | author=Vikram Doctor, Editor, Special Features | work = The Economic Times | at=Blogs | date= 20 September 2012 | accessdate = 2 August 2018}}</ref> The conventional "[[Room and pillar mining|board and pillar]]" system was used in Indian underground collieries. In this system coal pillars are left behind to support the roof and the vacant space was not always filled with sand. ECL leaves a mine as soon as it is ‘uneconomic’, leaving the remaining coal for others to scavenge upon.<ref name=illegalmining1/> There are around 1,380 abandoned pits and inclines of ECL in the region.<ref>{{cite web | url = https://www.frontline.in/static/html/fl1824/18240500.htm | title = The ‘rat-holes’ of Ranigunj | work = Frontline | volume=18 | issue=24 | date=November 4 – December 7, 2001 | accessdate = 11 August 2018}}</ref>
The veteran CITU leader, Sunil Basu Roy, described the workers of the illegal mines as "the wretched on the earth" – they have no where else to go and no other means of survival. In Gourandi village, near Asansol, around 5,000 people work in shifts in an open cast mine. Work in such mines are labour-intensive and machines are unknown. The poor who rush into such jobs come from all segments of society, the adivasi and other locals and migrants. They are quite often in the news when accidents occur.<ref name=illegalmining1/>

==Subsidence==
Traditionally many underground collieries left a void after taking out the coal. As a result, almost all areas are facing subsidence. The entire stretch of Grand Trunk Road from Andal to Barakar passes through a subsidence-prone area. As per CMPDIL, there were 8 points of subsidence in the Sripur Area involving 1,046.92 hectares of land.<ref>{{cite web | url = http://shodhganga.inflibnet.ac.in/bitstream/10603/66080/13/13_chapter%205.pdf | title = Coal mining impact on the environment | work = Pages 78-81 | publisher = Shodhganga | accessdate = 11 August 2018}}</ref>

==Accident==
Amongst the major [[Mining accident|accidents]] in Indian coal mines in the post-independence period, only one has occurred in what is now the Sripur Area, On 14 March 1954, 10 persons were killed in an explosion of fire damp at Damra Colliery, then owned by Kalipahari Coal Comoany.<ref>{{cite web | url =http://www.ismenvis.nic.in/Database/MajorAccidentsintheIndianCoalMines_1249.aspx?format=Print | title = Major Accidents in Indian Coalmines | work= 1952–2005| publisher = Envis Centre, Ministry of Environment and Forest, Government of India | accessdate = 11 August 2018}}</ref><ref>{{cite web | url = http://www.ismenvis.nic.in/Database/accidents_1249.aspx | title = Major Accidents in Indian Coal Mines | work = 1952–2005 | publisher = Envis Centre on Environmental Problems of Mining | accessdate = 11 August 2018}}</ref><ref>{{cite web | url = http://ismenvis.nic.in/Database/Damra_Colliery_1431954_9422.aspx | title = Colliery, 14.3.54 | publisher = Envis Centre on Environmental Problems of Mining | accessdate = 11 August 2018}}</ref>

==Migrants==
Prior to the advent of coal mining, the entire region was a low-productive rice crop area in what was once a part of the [[Jungle Mahals]]. The ownership of land had passed on from local [[adivasi]]s to agricultural castes before mining started. However, the [[Santal people|Santhals]] and the [[Bauris]], referred to by the colonial administrators as "traditional coal cutters of Raniganj" remained attached to their lost land and left the mines for agricultural related work, which also was more remunerative. It forced the mine-owners to bring in outside labour, mostly from Bihar, Odisha and Uttar Pradesh. In time the migrants dominated the mining and industrial scenario.
