[00:03:05]Come talk a lot country underground mining come come we put come back home by.

[00:03:12]They talk about that but I need a key way back to empty give me a day but I come to do you MLA the time.

[00:03:24]Actually let me be very blunt and direct.

[00:03:29]I remember when my people elect me.

[00:03:31]In 2018.

[00:03:33]With a hope and a vision that the MLA will bring the development to the constituency.

[00:03:41]And then do good to the people.

[00:03:43]So that is the expectation of the people and I believe this not only my constituency and even others also they expect that after electing the MLA, he will bring first priority is that the development of his constituency.

[00:04:02]And then whatever he can to, you know, uplift the constituency.

[00:04:07]Which I myself, I do try for that.

[00:04:10]So, to be frank, my people expect the same.

[00:04:15]It's not about the party or it's not about the individual.

[00:04:19]It's about the collective decision.

[00:04:21]So, where I heard the voice of my people.

[00:04:27]That as of now, you know, my people is a direct uh affected area when it comes to coal.

[00:04:35]So, my people always cry for this thing that we wish there's a party and we wish the government could do something that the coal ban will be lifted from East Jaintia Hills directly and even the state as a whole.

[00:04:54]So, my people will not mind any other party.

[00:04:58]It could be BJP.

[00:04:59]It could be VPP. NPP.

[00:05:03]My party, UDP.

[00:05:05]Whichever party, they don't mind.

[00:05:07]But it has to be a party who can, you know, deliver. Especially help us to lift lift the ban.

[00:05:16]So, even now also my people are expecting the same.

[00:05:20]So, as a local representative, I really wish that a day will come that our government could bring justice to the people of East Jaintia Hills and then lift the ban permanently and then give us our rights.

[00:05:35]Because NGT ban has been 12 years.

[00:05:38]If it would have been a solution, by now we would have seen fruit. But as of now, I believe now everyone will uh you know accept this that those 12 years is not just a mere time that we have suffering. It's been a long time. But yes, we have been patient enough.

[00:06:01]And my people have suffering a lot.

[00:06:04]So this time we are fighting for our rights. And I believe that if there's a time that the great impact will show us in this 2028 especially the party who can give a commitment and deliver for the core issues in this 2023.

[00:06:25]This double engine triple engine, I have no comment on this.

[00:06:28]What is their financial way? How will they do?

[00:06:32]I really don't know because I'm not a part of the government and I'm not a part of the party. But yes, no doubt we really appreciate the development they have brought to wherever they have, you know, the uh chance to serve in the state to lead the government, we have seen there's a lot of change. And even here also I appreciate my government uh lead by the NPP under the leadership of our uh Chief Minister Conrad K. Sangma, we have seen a lot of change has been especially when it comes to development.

[00:07:05]So as I've been mentioned uh East Khasi Hills uh development we appreciate but more than that we need a livelihood.

[00:07:15]So our livelihood stand on coal. So for this if there's a time that a party any party, I will not mention, if there's any party who could promise and deliver and I believe that my people and I know that very well that my people will stand for that.

[00:07:35]So let's hope for the best. If there's any party who can challenge, so my people they know what is there things needs to be done.

[00:07:43]So I will not say that because I know my people they are you know they know that what exactly needs to be done. If somebody do good to us, we repeat him back with a good things.

[00:07:57]There are many kinds of scientific.

[00:07:59]Uh scientific it doesn't mean only for open cast.

[00:08:04]Scientific it even meant for this thing uh the underground mining also.

[00:08:10]The technology what we have been used all those days that also uh do not 100% scientifically has been done. But it is some science has been introduced in that also. But it's just that we need to bring it into a proper way of mining and then especially bring the safety measures for the miners. So when you do something to you know protect the livelihood, especially to protect the lives of the miners, and then to take out extract the coal in a proper way, and then help the environment, that is scientific. It need not be only through open cast. Even the underground mining also can be done scientifically. So for this uh I believe that your question is about the open cast. So yes, no doubt open cast is quite difficult because the seam is quite very deep down. So when the deep is too high it's next to impossible open cast because I if I'm not mistaken uh if it is within 10 m the depth it's still feasible for open cast. But our depth is more than 10 m. It's sometime even 100 m. So this is not feasible for open cast mining in East Jaintia Hills.

[00:09:30]But still I believe that those who have already got the license they know the reality of it. And as of now we have not seen that this contribute to the people.

[00:09:42]Yes, it's already started. Scientific in the sense as I've said that previously the old practice also it is a scientific but not 100% but recently a few license has been you know given when it comes to open mining, open cast mining. So this open cast is already started few portion where a block some block in East Jaintia Hills two block or three block has already started.

[00:10:09]So this thing which have already started is quite difficult.

[00:10:14]Lots of challenges for the owner. So that's why we request the government and the authorities to do the needful by giving us a different way of mining.

[00:10:28]Previously they call what we have done they call it a part whole mining.

[00:10:32]Yes, when we look into different different arc that a few you know changes need to be done and same way of mining if can be introduced where we can call it underground mining.

[00:10:46]So I remember that we used to talk about tunnel mining. Even that also is not tunnel mining also it has a different term.

[00:10:54]So for us the most feasible mining is the underground. So for this we need to find out and we need expert to give us the suggestion so that we can prepare that what needs to be done so that the government will give us the you know the rights to go about this thing. To go ahead with the underground mining. So I believe that the day will come. No, what the government what they have promised they delivered.

[00:11:21]Because why I say this a few person they already got a license for open cast mining.

[00:11:27]But after they got the license then they realized this is not feasible. The government says that they will do the needful and we have seen they even give a license to few and some of the you know applicant that paperwork is still on processing.

[00:11:44]So those three four who already got the license after they start then they realize this could not be happening. It might not be possible in this gentle hills and different part of the state.

[00:11:56]So that's why we have a different mind now after realizing this that we should try something different which is feasible in our area. So it might be feasible in different areas of the state but when it comes to East Jaintia Hills this is not feasible and we have to try the alternative and different way of mining and the best way after discussing with many we come into a solution that underground mining is the best and with a few major steps needs to be taken so that the safety of the miners has to be taken care.

[00:12:30]And then treatment of water and then protect the environment that is what we need to do.
