Jharia coalfield is a large coal field located in the east of India in Jharia, Dhanbad,Jharkhand. Jharia represents the largest coal reserves in India having estimated reserves of 19.4 billion tonnes of coking coal.[1] The coalfield is an important contributor to the local economy, employing much of the local population either directly or indirectly.[2]
The fields have suffered a coal bed fire since at least 1916, resulting in 37 millions tons of coal consumed by the fire, and significant ground subsidence and water and air pollution in local communities including the city of Jharia. The resulting pollution has led to a government agency designated for moving local populations, however, little progress has been made in the relocation.
