A stony silence greets you when you enter the town now... The school was closed 2 years ago. All shopping complexes, restaurants, hotels, banks, petrol outlets and the only college have closed down now. From a population of around 35,000 once, the town has hardly a few hundred people now. KIOCL has stopped the maintenance of Kudremukha park, "Nandanavana" because of lack of tourists. The hospital, functioning with half a dozen staff, leaks at many places. Just 15 years ago Kudremukh, was a paradise with uninterrupted power and water supply. It was in 1987 that Kudremukh was declared as a national park (630 sqkm). But mining operations continued even after the lease ended in 1999. Following Supreme Court’s orders, mining operations ceased on December 31, 2005. After mining ended, the iron ore plant with an annual capacity of 7.5 million tonnes and other machinery was pulled apart and shipped as scrap. A majority of 1,922 quarters spread over 370 acres, that once housed families of KIOCL employees, are in disintegrated condition now. ===================================== Music Credits: Track 1: Track: Time - Sad Epic Emotional Cinematic Music/Royalty Free Artist: NCM Epic Music Ender Guney Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b_65e...
