Best answer

1. Such rapid growth in mining would have a negative impact on the environment as well as at the human cost.

2. Mines are dug deep, so the layers of earth become weak. 

3. They may cause landslides, avalanches, earthquakes, etc. 

4. Most of the water is used in the process of digging and later process also. 

5. Post liberalisation era brought private people (companies) into mining activities. 

6. Accidents may occur, tunnel may fall down, or get flooded with water or there can be fire and suffocation due to gases – these dangers may be faced in mining. 

7. With the motto of earning profits, these companies do not take proper measures of safety. 

8. Thus, there may be many human losses in rapid extractions of minerals.
