Areas of the island of kalimantan, bengkayang do have some illegal gold miner throwing mercury everywhere. Maybe you can cover it? I was once live in there. Basically they're battling with the authorities in which the cops just confiscate the mercury and sell it to them again

[@ishanisharma9689]

Please cover SECL in Korba and Neighbouring areas of chhattisgarh. On paper laws vs Implementation. CIL has saveral subsidiaries. SECL being the largest producer. We want to know what it has given back to society and environment. They don't have time to bother about our issues. Compare all the coal mining companies and suggest for the betterment of these industries. I think they are much busy thinking over their profits and production.

[@spr6317]

Please cover NHPC hydroelectric project in Assam, India. The public is against it as it has destroyed almost the entire ecosystem. The nearby districts will be completely submerged if flood happens. Also china is altering the water of the north east india leading to a lot of problems. Another thing that you can cover in Assam is how one horned rhinoceros are killed very frequently because their horns are illegally exported to Asian markets in the Golden triangle region.

Even when I travel on road in Jharkhand every morning i see cycles and bikes carrying sacks of coal and coming back from mines

[@amrutjyotishinde341]

And just like Rinky said in the video, these children are capable of doing more than one thing, that is, they are much skillful than children of the same age in the urban area, and this matters...!!!!

[@tusharrawat6670]

Arre yr tum log sahi nahi hoge 😑

[@chinaarlene7035]

No they're not.

[@quangnhatpham677]

I wouldn't say they are more skillful, but more endurance and strength

[@billionaire_01111]

I start working when I was 9 or 10 years old just for 3$ a month. I know how hard it's specially when you have big dreams. I changed myself and Rinky will definitely does one day. I believe on her hard working spirit.

[@CoalfieldChildrenClassesJharia]

Your wishes will work on her definitely Thank you for positive words. .

[@keonisan]

I don't understand the mindset, she's got silver bracelets on her legs but not work boots? Open toed shoes that she could drop a block of coal on and be seriously screwed or buy a pair of $50 boots?

[@subhradeepsharma]

She is the future of India, And i am not scared anymore. There are people who use their last breath to come out of political poverty. And they will.

[@PranabeshSingh]

Not proud of this, but it's good to see my hometown covered in a story.

[@Hamari_Lori]

And the focus of govt is on making buildings.. Big and grand.... Rather than tackling real life issues.... Because these will not bring votes, the architecture will..

[@bhavinjain9367]

So Architecture and Infrastructure is not important. Child Laboir has decreased by a lot in this decade but such issues will keep persisting in India due to its simply large population. Some Biggest Coal Companies like Coal India don't use Child Labour at all. I am guessing this is some private operator.

[@Hamari_Lori]

@@bhavinjain9367 child labour has decreased in data... Not on the ground.. With unemployment rates peaking, the child labour will also logically rise.. Buildings are important but resource allocation can be better.... MGNREGA like scheme should not see budget cuts rather strengthening

[@prasanth2601]

Government isn't focusing on shiny buildings. It's building world class infra at a break neck speed. Yes this government isn't perfect but it's still a million times decent compared to the one who us ruling in Punjab

[@joshuatheunkownuniverse.2475]

Govt is doing what its necessary to install a company to provide job. Govt should not feed its citizen through its own hand. Education, ideas poor wellfare should be valued not the free bees.

[@ayonbiswas4186]

Nobody in India wants to invest long-term in the edu-health sector, which is the only way to tackle these challenges. These types of investment takes two to three decades to bear fruits and no political party in India are interested to invest into something which will not give direct returns to them.

8:13 Does the girl realise that maybe she just got taller instead of the house dropping lower?😂

[@AlanBendi]

Rinky is awesome!

[@illfatedgoodheart4951]

Her daily struggle is so difficult, yet she keeps faith in god and dreams for a better tomorrow. Doing all the tiring hard work, household chores, bringing water for drinking, still managing time to study. I have a huge respect for this girl, and I believe she will definitely do something big in her life and save her family and her future generations from this hell. I feel I am very lucky and privileged enough being not in such a condition that she is living. She is a symbol of positivity and hardworking women.

life is so unfair, we complain about not getting a longer lunch break at work and yet these girls work three times as hard as some of us and earn next to nothing.

Really proud of her may god help her and others to get out from that situation and may able to live a good life....god bless them

[@InLoveWithBubuDudu]

Rinky is indeed a brave and hardworking girl. May god erase all her sorrows 🙏🏻

[@m.o.m.basiclifeskills2986]

And the billionaires in their country do nothing. People at risk, children without clean water. This is absolutely unacceptable.

[@blahblahblahblahblah9920]

No closed-toed shoes is the most shocking part imo

[@parwankhan6458]

In conditions these people are working are heaven compared to where we at mines here in Balochistan which is 4000 feet underground

[@swarnimdey11]

Nothing is comparable, they don't do it because they love to do it, they do it to earn money cause they aren't financially stable. They just do it for 3 time meal.

I have a huge respect for these people,who work hard but they don't earn much But it's life

people live in comfort and have millions and billions of dollars, while other people have to do illegal dangerous work just to be able to eat and survive. this is how you know the world is ****** up and its going to end pretty soon because it cares more about money than helping people who need help.

I love my jharia .The story is true, the central government and the state government are ruining the jharia.

Good Lord. They're only wearing flip flops, no dust mask, safety gloves, no eye goggles. Very poor living condition. Made me cry watching the video. 🥺🥺😥😭😭😥
