Historical Overview
Reserve of prime coking coal in the country is very limited. Eastern Jharia Area is situated on the South corner of Jharia Coalfield. In this respect Eastern Jharia Area has been occupying a pride place in the coal and industrial map of the country. It is one of the few areas in the country which has entirely been producing prime coking coal vitally required for the steel and metallurgical industries. The Area comprises two coal producing units namely, Bhowra (S) and ASP Colliery through Hired HEMM opencast project.
Mines of Eastern Jharia Area are being worked since 1907. E.J. Area was reorganised in 1997 by amalgamated the then Areas i.e., Bhowra, Amlabad and Sudamdih. Almost all the seams of Jharia Coalfield emerging from XVIII to I seam are found in present working has gone upto I seam. The mines of EJ Area had experienced all types of mine disasters such as inundation, series of explosions besides pillar collapse due to ground movement.
Geo-mining conditions are extremely difficult. There are multi-seam workings. Some of which have been highly gassy coupled with number of geological disturbances such as fault, dyke, intrusions and frequent changing gradient due to small fault within a span of 10 to 15 meters affecting the underground layouts. Due to extensive mining for last 100 years all mines are prone to danger due to fire, inundations and subsidence. OCP mines are being operated along the strike of about 300 meter to 700 meter with high stripping ratio even upto 1:7.
Location: Eastern Jharia Area located in the eastern part of Jharia coalfield and lies in between:
