Background

Ramche Coal Mine is a coal mine in Dang Province, Nepal. In 2022, a journalistic report on the safety conditions in Nepal's coal mines noted:

According to the Department of Mines and Geology, there are other places apart from Dang where coal mining is done. It says nearly 100,000 tonnes of coal is extracted from mines in Palpa, Dang, Pyuthan, Salya, and Arghakhanchi.

The coal is used by brick kilns and various industries. Even though coal extraction is high in number, the to poor quality, big kilns still import coals from other countries. Currently, five companies are mining coals in Dang. Coal Industrialists Federation’s president Roshan Dahal says that these coal mines are too old. Despite this, the Department of Mines and Geology has not done anything to regulate and monitor because coal mining is not its priority.
