During field work, I too observed that, initially all mine workers were treated for TB by many doctors. After treatment of many years from different doctors, in different cities, they did not recover and died in very young age. Different reported cities are Gwalior, Hindaun, Sawai Madhopur, Gangapur, and Jaipur. Few of them reported traditional treatment too. This field note considers the case of a miner, Chetram, which throws some light on socioeconomic and health status of miners.
