Deccan Gold Mines begins work on Bhalukona-Jamnidih Nickel, Chromium, and PGE block in Chhattisgarh
By Aditya Bhagchandani Published on April 24, 2025, 13:13 IST
Deccan Gold Mines Limited, India's only listed strategic and critical mineral resource company, has announced the commencement of exploration activities over its Bhalukona-Jamnidih composite licence block in Chhattisgarh. The site holds potential for nickel, chromium, and platinum group elements (PGE), marking a strategic step in securing India's mineral independence under the vision of Atmanirbhar Bharat.
The company received its work permit on April 9, 2025, and has since started key groundwork. These include demarcation of the composite licence boundary via DGPS survey, notifying local panchayat leaders, and setting up survey controls for an advanced drone magnetic geophysical survey. Consent from landowners for trenching and drilling will follow based on the delineation of mineralized zones.
Managing Director Dr. Hanuma Prasad Modali expressed optimism about the project's scientific approach. 'We are excited to apply the latest geophysics to identify potential mineralized zones,' he said. 'Support from local communities and fast mobilization by consultants has been encouraging.'
The next phases will involve more detailed geophysical analysis, geological mapping, and soil geochemistry studies, with Deccan Gold promising timely updates for its ~40,000 shareholders.

Ahmedabad Air India crash: Death toll rises to 317 including all 242 onboard and 75 locals from Meghani Nagar residential block
By Aditya Bhagchandani Published on June 12, 2025, 18:45 IST The tragic crash of Air India flight AI171 from Ahmedabad to London Gatwick has now claimed at least 317 lives, making it one of India's deadliest aviation disasters in recent history. Officials have confirmed that all 242 people onboard — including 230 passengers, 10 cabin crew, and 2 pilots — have perished, with no survivors found so far, according to the Ahmedabad City Police Commissioner and the Associated Press. In addition to the passengers, the crash has devastated a residential complex in Meghani Nagar, just outside the airport perimeter, where the aircraft fell shortly after takeoff from Runway 23 at 1:39 PM IST on Wednesday. As per Civil Hospital staff records, the Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner struck Atulyam Flats — three buildings with around 94 flats — housing mostly healthcare professionals and their families. Officials have confirmed 75 dead bodies recovered from the buildings, with 200 residents reportedly present at the time of the crash. The aircraft's fuel-heavy load intensified the post-crash fire, complicating recovery efforts. The DGCA confirmed the aircraft issued a MAYDAY call moments after takeoff before communication ceased. Emergency teams remain at the site, with rescue and identification operations ongoing. This includes prominent names like Cargo Motors founder Pramukh Nanda and family, who were reportedly onboard, along with 53 British nationals and several other foreign citizens. The government has activated emergency protocols, with Prime Minister Narendra Modi directing Home Minister Amit Shah and Civil Aviation Minister Ram Mohan Naidu to reach Ahmedabad and oversee relief efforts. An investigation has been initiated by the DGCA in collaboration with Boeing.
