Land Conflict Summary

The Dipka Mines, owned by South Eastern Coalfields Limited (SECL), is the thirdlargest coal mine in the country. It spreads over 1,999 hectares of land across 10 villages, namely Dipka, Chainpur, Beltikri, Jhingatpur, Jhabar, Sirki, Renki, Suvabhondi, Ratiza and Malgaon, in Korba district. According to a 2019 company report, the project has affected at least 1,690 families. Those displaced continue to demand rehabilitation, fair compensation and employment opportunities. Land acquisition for the project was completed in phases between 1986 and 2004. Since then, SECL has applied multiple times to expand the mining area and its capacity. However, reportedly, only some of the affected families have been resettled and compensated for the land they gave up.  The village residents have time and again voiced their concerns about the polluting and destructive impact of the mining activities on the land and water sources. Amongst other issues, they claim that mining is turning the land uncultivable. However, in Korba district, Dipka is only one of the many mines responsible for polluting the environment.  In March 2016, the villagers affected by the Dipka Mines came together with the projectaffected people from Gevra and Kusmunda mining projects to protest against the management of SECL. They raised their concerns with the support of local political outfits and activists. In a meeting, they decided against giving up their lands for the mine expansion and planned to submit their concerns to the district collector, reported a newspaper.  In January 2017, the affected villagers launched fresh protests to stop blastingrelated work in different areas of the mining site. In June, the protesters appealed to the administration to shut down the mine if it was unable to meet the demands for rehabilitation, compensation and employment.  In the same year, SELC submitted a proposal to expand the capacity of the mines from 31 MTPA (million tonnes per annum) to 35 MTPA to meet national demands. In February 2018, the Ministry of Environment, Forests and Climate Change granted the environmental clearance to the project. However, an environmental activist, Laxmi Chouhan, challenged the decision in the National Green Tribunal (NGT) for being illegal, improper and irregular". In September 2019, Dipka Mine was flooded after the Lilagar river changed course. The mine was temporarily submerged, which triggered questions over the condition of the mines as a potential hazard zone.  According to a 2019 news report, the environmental concerns of the project are glaring. It restated that the coal dust is worsening the air quality in the area and severely polluting the river water. The activists have also underlined the impact of ongoing mining activities on the regions topography.  In March 2019, the NGT directed the Central Pollution Control Board to act upon the problem of pollution resulting from poor transportation for mining activities. In June, the Chhattisgarh high court dismissed a petition filed against the SELC by the Chhattisgarh Environment Conservation Board. In January 2020, the affected people submitted a letter to the environment ministry to highlight the socioenvironmental degradation caused by mining and requested the ministry to not grant an extension to the mine. Despite this, the ministry approved an extension of 30 years in March while failing to account for many of the concerns raised.  Later that year, in one of the villages, the protesters took out a rally to the office of the SELCs general manager to protest against the pollution. They also pointed towards the poor condition of the roads. The police and administration had to intervene after some protesters locked the general manager in his office.  On August 7, 2020, during the NGT hearing, the appellant argued against the expansion of the mine and demanded withdrawal of the environmental clearance to the project. In May 2021, a newspaper reported that the expansion work for the mine was still ongoing. Meanwhile, the villagers could not register their opposition due to restrictions imposed by the COVID19 pandemic lockdown. Currently, SECL has applied to further increase the capacity of the mines to 40 MTPA
