Coal India Limited to Destroy McCluskiegunj?

Through a reliable source I have been informed that the coal mines under Rohini Project will be extended till Hesalong village of McCluskiegunj.
About eight years ago a survey team had discovered coal in the village. Recently, the nearby projects have come into action.
McCluskiegunj will finally loose it's charm. The prices of land here are from twenty five thousand to one lakh rupees a decimal. Why are people investing so much money in the place when it will be ruined in a span of five to ten years?
There's no need to explain how a coal mine can destroy a place.

Towards a Dark Life

This is Raj Dhan who is a resident of Chatti Nadee Village.
He lost an eye when he was a child due to negligence of parents that are below the poverty line. Now, 26 and has cataract in the other eye. It seems to me that he will be completely blind in a couple of years. He is living in hope that somebody would help him save his life from becoming Dark forever.
He walks with difficulty and he seems to be a drunk man walking. Watch it at: http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=8kgj3Gcxls&gl=IN&hl=en&guid=&client=mv-google
