A System to Identify Illegal Mining
by Mahmodul Hasan India's satellite-based mine surveillance system is failing to help control illegal mining, not just because it has limitations, but due to what looks like apathetic governments in the most heavily-mined states and regions. Each time a question is raised in parliament about action taken to tackle illegal mining, rampant in the country, the Union Ministry of Mines responds with a refrain: the Mining Surveillance System (MSS) that uses satellites to detect illegal mining.

West Bengal ASHA Update
The reason for the Swasthya Bhavan drive on Tuesday, January 7, was to meet with health officials to find a solution and to demand their due rights. But the first and main demand – that the minimum wage of Rs 15,000 be paid to ASHA workers as set by the state government – remained unresolved. A final decision on this issue will be announced on January 21.
