Labourers work at a coal stockyard in East Jaintia Hills in Meghalaya, India, September 16, 2015. A senior Indian politician has been lobbying New Delhi to lift a ban on dangerous, small-scale coal mining operations in his state, without disclosing that his wife owns several mines there, according to documents seen by Reuters. So-called "rat-hole" mining practised in Meghalaya state killed thousands of workers, including children, before the ban was imposed in April last year. At its peak the state produced coal worth $4 billion a year, or about a tenth of India's total production, nearly all from this form of small-scale mining. Picture taken September 16, 2015.
