This is demonstrated from the case of landmines buried under ground by Sri Lankan Army around the Jaffna International Airport ( then known as Sri Lanka Airforce  ), how satellite specific band frequency detects landmine buried under the ground. This is effective technique in detecting the landmines. Landmines release specific vapor temperature on ground surface. This is not visible through ordinary human eyes or detected by the metal detector, as most of the explosives are built in plastic container.  But satellite immediately detects the  vapor temperature on the ground surface. The  satellite is essential tool for  detecting  the landmines and managing effectively the landmine clearance program. Many European agencies are fundin...

This risk threat is completely missing from the three safeguard monitoring audit conducted by the MSEDCL and submitted to the ADB Bank in the project of "Maharashtra Rural High Voltage Distribution System Expansion Program". The consultation process with the "Indigen...
