A visit to this mine (27th March,2018) was a great experience. The tunnels, machines, offices at depths of 500 meters under the ground are quite a sight to witness. The mine also hosted a metal band concert long back.
The picture is taken at a depth of 1000 meters include Eshwar Ramasetti, Esa Puukko and Satish Kolli.
