Half a million coal mine workers go on strike in India

INTRO:
Over half a million coal mine workers are on strike in India today. They are opposing the Modi govt's late August move that allows for 100% foreign direct investment in the coal sector. So far coal mining for commercial sale was done only by a public company called Coal India,  that's responsible for 80% of the country's coal output.
