OAK HILL, W.Va. (AP) — Deep in the hills of West Virginia, coal mining and the dangers that come with it have been a part of families’ lives for generations. Death and tragedy are woven into history, but there’s also a fierce legacy of miners fighting for — and winning — protections that have benefitted workers nationwide. As black lung rates rise among workers — including those in their 30s and 40s — forced to dig through more rock filled with deadly silica to reach the remaining thin coal seams, some sick retired coal miners from central Appalachia are fighting back. They are demanding the Trump administration enforce a rule approved last year by the U.S. Mine Safety and Health Administration that would cut the federal limit for allowable respirable crystalline silica dust exposure by half to help protect all types of miners nationwide from the current driving force of black lung and other illnesses. The silica rule was put on hold before it took effect in April after industry groups suing the government filed a request in court to block it, citing costs and difficulties implementing it. The administration did not push back against the lawsuit, and was granted another extension in October due to the government shutdown. Dozens of former miners from the hard-hit region traveled to Washington last month to protest the silica rule’s delay along with cuts and proposed rollbacks to health and safety protections. Their opposition comes months after President Donald Trump signed executive orders to allow coal-fired plants to pollute more and to streamline the permitting process and open up new areas for mineral production, including oil and natural gas drilling and mining of “beautiful, clean coal.” At the time, he was celebrated at the White House by smiling miners in hard hats,…

The Delhi High Court has granted singer Kumar Sanu interim protection over his personality rights, restraining the unauthorized use of his name, likeness, image, and voice for commercial purposes. Justice Manmeet Pritam Singh Arora, presiding over the case Kumar Sanu Bhattacharjee vs Jammable Limited & Ors., observed that prima facie, the celebrated singer’s personality traits are protectable elements of his identity. The interim injunction will remain in effect until the next hearing, scheduled for March 30, 2026.“Prima facie, the Plaintiff’s personality traits and/or parts thereof, including Plaintiff’s name Kumar Sanu, voice, image, photograph or likeness and other attributes are protectable elements of the Plaintiff’s personality rights. The Plaintiff is entitled to protect itself against morphed and distorted content which is demeaning,” the Court stated in its order. The Court also drew reference to earlier rulings concerning the personality rights of Bollywood figures such as Anil Kapoor, Karan Johar, and Jackie Shroff. As part of its interim directions, the Court ordered Amazon and Flipkart to remove listings that violate Kumar Sanu’s personality rights and restrained two e-commerce sellers from selling any merchandise featuring his name, photo, or likeness without authorization. Google and Meta were directed to take down infringing content identified in Sanu’s petition, as well as any fresh material flagged by the singer in the future. Additionally, both platforms were ordered to provide Basic Subscriber Information (BSI) of the anonymous accounts responsible for sharing such content within three weeks. The Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY) and the Department of Telecommunications (DoT) were also instructed to suspend URLs, websites, and mobile applications found to be misusing Sanu’s identity and take similar action against any new instances brought to their attention. Allegations of AI Misuse and Unauthorized Content The Court’s decision came in response to a Rs 2 crores suit filed by the playback legend against several AI-based platforms, online intermediaries, digital entities, and unidentified individuals accused of creating fake, morphed, and impersonated content in his name. According to Sanu, the defendants misused his persona to sell merchandise, impersonated him on social media, and even developed a mobile application on the Google Play Store using his image and voice. The suit alleged that AI-generated sound recordings imitating his voice and GIFs caricaturing him had caused reputational damage and subjected him to “unsavoury humour” online. Represented by Advocate Sana Raees Khan, Sanu argued that such acts infringed his right to privacy, goodwill, and reputation, in addition to violating the provisions of the Copyright Act, 1957. The suit emphasized that his stage names “Kumar Sanu,” “Sanu Da,” and the title “The Melody King of Bollywood” enjoy dual protection under personality/publicity rights and trademark law. Kumar Sanu Reacts View this post on Instagram A post shared by Kumar Sanu (@kumarsanuofficial) Following the court’s ruling, Kumar Sanu expressed gratitude on social media, acknowledging his legal team and the judiciary for recognizing artists’ rights. He wrote, “I am deeply grateful to my advocate, Sana Raees Khan, for her powerful and masterful arguments that led to this significant victory in court. My heartfelt thanks to the Hon’ble Delhi High Court for recognizing and upholding my Personality Rights.”Also Read: Kunickaa Sadanand’s old remarks on rapes in Bollywood resurface; Jaan Kumar Sanu REACTS sharply.
