The well inside Hare Bhare Shah Dargh, adjacent to the Jama Masjid, is Rafiq’s only source of water. The dargah is only washed with water brought in by the bhishtis, who get Rs 6.000 per month for the service. The well is said to have been there for nearly 350 years and has never gone dry. Some two decodes ago, bhishtis would queue here to draw water, says Rafiq, but not anymore.

A coal mine worker in Dhanbad, Jharkhand, a state that accounted for 17 per cent of India’s coal production in 2020-21. In May this year, the Union government has allowed existing mines to increase production capacity by 50 per cent within the same lease area without a revised environmental assessment or public consultation, to address the power crisis across the country due to a shortage of coal and fuel. The Centre has also instructed miners to accelerate output before the onset of the monsoon in late June.
