The town of Jaria is located in northeast India in the Jharkhand province and it has a huge problem. Over 70 fires have been burning underground since 1916 because of a coal mine collapse which has in turn made the air in Jaria toxic. The fires are so massive that local authorities have made no effort to try and extinguish them.
