In Kali Chhapar, 11% of the population is under 6 years of age. After the recent discovery of raw ruby ore the town has been overwhelmed by mining companies and individuals seeking work. This has led to a massive surge in population that has subsequently caused an 83% increase in crime as well as a massive outbreak of dysentery among the population. The government has now taken measures to bring the area under greater regulations.
