11 January, Udupi Restaurant, Navyug Market, Ghaziabad: Today here Rashtriya Sainik Sanstha gave a new title to Rate Miners, Veer Miners.
Mr. Ankur Kumar, Mr. Devendra Singh, Mr. Monu Kumar, Mr. Jagriti, Mr. Saurabh, Mr. Nasir, Mr. Vakil Hasan, Munna Qureshi, Firoz Malik, Naseem Malik, Irsad Ansari, Rashid Ansari told the rate miners that when we were in the tunnel of Uttarakhand. When we met 41 stranded laborers, they hugged us and hugged us as if they were members of our family.
National President of Rashtriya Sainik Sanstha, Veer Chakra recipient Colonel Tejendra Pal Tyagi said that rate miners work especially in Meghalaya. Where they are lowered by cutting a small hole in which only one person can go. With the help of rope or wooden ladder. These rate miners extract coal from there. Filling water in holes during rainy season can even lead to death. Since there is no sunlight, oxygen and ventilation, the situation becomes worse. This was the reason why several thousand rate miners died in different incidents.
The National Green Tribunal had banned the practice of rate miners a year ago.
Rashtriya Sainik Sanstha's National Secretary Gaurav Senani Rajendra Bagasi and Rashtriya Sainik Sanstha's National Treasurer Gaurav Senani PP Singh said that often a 10 meter by 10 meter 100 meter deep pit is dug and wherever coal layer is found. Rate miners extract coal from there by horizontal digging.
While doing horizontal boring in Uttarakhand, when America's Mogar drill failed due to hitting an iron net, rate miners were brought down and surprisingly they completed the work overnight.
National Capital Region Convenor Shri Rajeev Khosla said that from today onwards rate miners will be called Veer Miners. Due to the deshkaal pot, sometimes it is beneficial to use prohibited things. Therefore, today the Rate Miners were included in the Rashtriya Sainik Sanstha and were felicitated by wearing a cap. Not only this, a letter is being written to the Prime Minister's Office that these rate miners should be included in the parade on 26th January.
At the end of the program, two minutes silence was observed for former Prime Minister Lal Bahadur Shastri on his death anniversary.
