You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 3.236.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪ST47‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a web host's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and they should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 06:21, 30 September 2026.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

==History==
The commercial discovery of Bailadila dates back to 1955-56 when Prof. Euemura of Japanese Steel Mills Association,<ref>[http://forbesindia.com/article/breakpoint/why-japanese-steel-companies-are-in-india/22432/1 Forbes India Magazine – Why Japanese Steel Companies Are In India<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref> studying the memoirs of [[Geological Survey of India]], drew the attention of the Japanese Steel Mills to the richness of the vast deposits of [[iron ore]] and its proximity to the Eastern Coast of India. Later an agreement had been signed with the Japanese Steel Mills in 1960.<ref>[http://money.livemint.com/IID91/F126371/DirectorsReport/Company.aspx NMDC Ltd. - Director Reports - money.livemint.com<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref> An approval of the project report prepared by NMDC was given in 1964 and the Mine Plant had been inaugurated on November 1968. Later on, [[National Mineral Development Corporation]], with help of [[Japan]] set up the first [[iron ore]] plant in Kirandul. Currently ((nihongo|'''Kobe Steel, Ltd.'''|株式会社神戸製鋼所|Kabushiki-gaisha Kōbe Seikō-sho)) Japan is the biggest purchaser of its ore, but earlier it has also sold ore in [[Bhilai Steel Plant]] too.

Kirandul was a crucial part of the princely state of [[Bastar state|Bastar]] before India attained independence. Bastar region prospered under the reign of King Annama Deva, the brother of [[Kakatiya]] king Pratapa Rudra Deva of [[Warangal]] (Telangana). During the 19th century, the region came under the administration of the British rule. Eventually, it was acceded to the Indian Union on January 1, 1948, and the town became a part of the Bastar district of [[Madhya Pradesh]] and later in 2000, it was included in the newly formed [[Chhattisgarh]] state.<ref>[http://www.hoparoundindia.com/chhattisgarh/history-of-kirandul.aspx History of Kirandul City Chhattisgarh Origin-Background-Significance<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref>

The iron ore mines here are also an important tourist attraction. Run by the [[Navratna]] Government Organization,'[[National Mineral Development Corporation|NMDC]]',<ref>[http://www.moneycontrol.com/news/recommendations/buy-nmdc-target-rs-138-icicidirectcom_911493.html Buy NMDC; target Rs 138: ICICIdirect.com - Moneycontrol.com<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref> these mines operate with the latest technology and hi-tech machinery. However, one needs to obtain permit to visit the mines, which can be done by requesting the [[National Mineral Development Corporation|NMDC]] office. The mines are generally open to the public on [[Vishwakarma Puja]] day every year and huge number of people visit during that time.<ref>((cite web|url=https://www.bhaskar.com/news/CHH-RAI-HMU-bailadila-iron-mines-chattishgarh-5696095-PHO.html|title=It is like a bull hump in the hills|publisher=Dainik Bhaskar|access-date=28 December 2017))</ref>

The Bailadila iron ore range extends for a length of 40&nbsp;km with a width of about 10&nbsp;km mostly along the top of hill, which constitute one of the richest concentration of iron-ore of world. The range contains 1200 million tonnes of high grade [[iron ore]] distributed in 14 deposits.<ref>((cite web|url=http://www.dailypioneer.com/state-editions/raipur/nmdc-to-set-up-ore-sampling-laboratory-at-kirandul-mine.html|title=NMDC to set up ore sampling laboratory at Kirandul mine|publisher=The Pioneer|access-date=28 December 2017))</ref> 14 reserves have been discovered, of which 3 are being mined.

Kirandul is easily accessible and well connected to [[Raipur]], [[Visakhapatnam]] and [[Hyderabad, India|Hyderabad]] by all-weather roads. It can also be reached by rail from Visakhapatnam.

A line from Bailadila to [[Visakhapatnam]] via Jagdalpur is in place mainly for the purposes of evacuation of iron ore by [[National Mineral Development Corporation]] (NMDC) from Kirandul with limited passenger trains.

===Air transport===
There is an [[Jagdalpur Airport|airport]] at [[Jagdalpur]] where until recent years no scheduled services were run to or from here. This changed with the inauguration of flight services by Chhattisgarh CM Bhupesh Baghel in 2020 thereby giving Jagdalpur the privilege of having the second civil airport in the State. Although several attempts were made earlier in 2018 for flights to Bhubhaneshwar and Raipur, the project was not successful and was discontinued. Maa Danteshwari Airport in Jagdalpur has flights operated by [[Alliance Air (India)|Alliance Air]] to Raipur and Hyderabad where the travel time is 45 minutes and 75 minutes respectively. This is in contrast to the travel time by roadways of 7 hours and 12 hours respectively to the destinations thereby saving a considerable amount of time<ref>((cite web |url=https://indianexpress.com/article/india/airport-inaugurated-in-chhattisgarhs-bastar-district-6605262/|last=Verma|first=Gargi|title=Chhattisgarh: Bhupesh Baghel inaugurates airport in LWE-affected Jagdalpur))</ref>

The airport was predominantly used by political leaders and insurgency operation-related activities by the army and the police. With the recent developments, the airport will serve the population of the nearby districts well and would act as a means of promoting tourism in the State.
