zReportage.com Story Summary: zReportage.com Story of the Week #760: TUESDAY November 3, 2020: ‘CURSE OF COAL’ from ZUMA Press award winning photographer Supratim Bhattacharje who specializes in human rights in the Indian subcontinent: Jharkhand state in eastern India is mineral-rich, but a majority of its people is dirt poor. As in the rest of the country where some 28 million children work to supplement their families’ meagre incomes, 400,000 children aged between five and 14 work in Jharkhand. Children blackened with coal dust, serve as daily reminders of the dark truths of the estimated 15,000 coal mines in the state. Child labour is forbidden in India, but given the proximity to mines, many children work in them. Welcome to: ‘CURSE OF COAL’
