Description : Darkness is enveloping the hills around Jaduguda, the site of the first uranium mining project in India. Large scale deforestation has been the bane of the Jaduguda-Bhatin-Turamdih mines complex, which shall extend to the newest mine to be set up in Bandhuhurang lease zone. The forest here has been dug up to build the tailings pond for the Bandhuhurang open-cast mine. March 11, 2007.
