The Business & Human Rights Resource Centre invited National Mineral Development Corporation (NMDC) to respond to allegations in Bailadila Mines of:

• Forest clearance and livelihood impacts
• Health and safety issues among Bailadila mines workers due to exposure to elevated levels of air pollutants
• Riverine water pollution, particularly of Shankhini River
• The widening of a road intended to transport ore from the Bailadila mines, which is reportedly wider than legally permitted and allegedly causes impacts, including illegal deforestation

The Company did not respond
