 History of Mining- It is located in Amalgamated Keshalpur west mudidih colliery of Katras Area, BCCL. It falls in Jharia Coal field. The history of Jharia Coal field was started since nineteenth century. The only energy source during those years, the mining was carried out through manual and semi-manual methods resulting into large scale degradation of land, forests and environment. The unscientific mining resulted into large scale mine-fires, subsidence and land degradation. The mines of Jharia Coalfields were taken over by BCCL in 1972 from the erstwhile private mine owners. Most of the mines had their history from pre-nationalization period. Status of Coal Seams- III seam, II top & II bottom coal seam are available. All seams have been developed/partially developed through underground mining operation.
