14. DISASTERS IN COAL MINES CAUSE WISE - OVER LAST CENTURY

15. DISASTER IN COAL MINES CAUSE WISE - SPECIFIC PERIODS - PERCENTAGE

16. FATALITIES DUE TO EXPLOSIONS REDUCED MAJOR CAUSES WITHDRAWAL OF MUGGBATTIS (OPEN FLAME) INTRODUCTION OF CAP LAMPS STONE DUST BARRIERS ALL U.G. COAL MINES TREATED GASSY IMPROVED VENTILATION STANDARDS ADOPTION OF IMPROVED TECHNOLOGY MANDATORY EMERGENCY PLANS

17. DISASTERS DUE TO INUNDATION MAJOR CAUSES CRISS CROSSED RIVER VALLEY’S ABANDONED WORKINGS NEAR WATER BODIES LOWERING OF GROUND PROFILE DUE TO MINING MULTIPLE SEAMS - WATER LOGGED WORKING FRAGMENTED AND THIN MINE BOUNDARIES UNSTABLE WORKINGS BELOW WATER BODIES UNDERLIABLE PROTECTIVE MEASURES

18. DISASTERS DUE TO INUNDATION MAJOR CAUSES - CONTINUED HEAVY RAINFALL CHANGE OF WATER COURSE CONSTRICTION ON WATER COURSES IN ACCURATE SURVEY INCORRECT MINE PLANS INEFFECTIVE EVACUATION SYSTEM GEOLOGICAL DISTURBANCES WATER CHARGED STRATA

19. DISASTERS DUE TO INUNDATION PREVENTIVE MEASURES RECOMMENDATIONS OF COURTS OF ENQUIRY RECOMMENDATIONS OF NINETH SAFETY CONFERENCE DELINATION OF WATER BODIES AWARENESS PROGRAMMES INVOLVEMENT OF ALL CONCERNED DISEMINATION OF INFORMATIONS PROPER COMMUNICATION SYSTEM RAINFALL WARNING AND METEOROGICAL DATA IDENTIFY SIGNALS AND TAKE MEASURES

20. DISASTERS DUE TO INUNDATION PREVENTIVE MEASURES - CONTINUED BETTER DESIGN OF PROTECTIVE MEASURES ON ENGINEERING CONSIDERATIONS ADJUSTMENT OF HFL AS PER CHARGED RIVER CHANNEL R & D EFFORTS GEOPHISICAL METHODS FOR LOCATING U.G. WATER BODIES INFRASTRUCTURE FOR DRILLING OF ADVANCE BOREHOLES RISK ASSESSMENT & RISK MANAGEMENT RESPONSIBILITIES AT EACH STAGE DEFINED DYNAMIC AND VIBRANT MANAGEMENT
