“We don’t have good dreams. Only nightmares,” say residents of the city of Jharia in eastern India, the largest coal deposit in the country. An underground fire rages under a thin layer of soil. The flame burns houses. People are afraid to sleep. Acrid smoke spreads over the terrain, and dust hangs in the air. Due to poor ecology, most residents suffer from chronic diseases. As a result, many died of cancer, tuberculosis and asthma. But the locals are more afraid of starvation than death. Therefore, they continue to work for a local coal mining company. The government is relocating people to other areas. But it is harder to live there without a job and money than in their home villages. Watch the video about the city on coal. Then, learn more in the documentary Inferno Village. #health Follow: https://t.me/rtdocumentary
