Banned rat-hole mining in East Jaintia Hills, where a blast killed 31, is a low-investment, high-profit model. A 10-year ban hasn't budged it—'They won't get such money anywhere else.'
Water level in the mine has risen by 100 ft, says CM Himanta Sarma. At least 3 miners are feared dead. Indian Army, Assam Rifles, SDRF & NDRF are also part of rescue efforts.
Russian coal sales to Europe have declined in advance of a planned European ban on coal shipments. Russia has increased supply to India in search of low-cost markets.
Four broader factors will shape the trajectory of India-Israel relationship. Failure to anticipate these possible unintended consequences now may complicate its future direction.
