A lot has been already spoken about climate change. While some of the active environmentalists have taken it upon themselves to fight it, most of us fail to see that it is a big deal that needs to be dealt with. Seems like nature is done with our ignorance and is trying to avenge the harm we have done to her in its own way.
In what it looks like a climate vengeance, a river changed its course after heavy storms. Reportedly, the Lilagar River deviated from its usual path of flow after heavy storms and flooded the Dipka coal mine in northeast India. In one of the two videos that were shared by journalist Aruna Chandrasekhar, thousands of gallons of water from the river can be seen aggressively pouring into the mine.
Insane footage of the Lilanagar river changing course and flowing into Dipka, one of @secl_cil’s biggest pit mines, cleared to extract 35 million tonnes of coal each year. Nature has its own plans. Video via @alokshuklacg. pic.twitter.com/Y3cR2qeTrD

Another video showed water cascading down hundreds of feet into the mine. Chandrasekhar explained in her tweet that the pit had been cleared to extract coal.

Some netizens tweeted their dismay upon the fact that the authorities dug a coal mine next to a river, while others tweeted that it was nature’s mode of revenge.

That seems like a very practical place to stash a lot of water?

@PebbleMine @Feargal_Sharkey next time the mine engineer says that there's no chance anything can go wrong, show him him this video.

When nature takes its revenge nothing survives

The country is currently facing extreme climatic conditions. After Kerala, Karnataka and Maharashtra among other states, Bihar is now facing the wrath of incessant rains. If these calamities don’t compel you to get your act together, what will?
