The backfill stability in underground stoping environment has a direct and large influence on the
safety and economy of a mining stope, and finally, on the profitability of a mining operation. Its in-stability could
lead to unsafe mining conditions within the mining stoping environment. In the present study, the backfill stability
is studied due to the mining of adjacent stope through numerical modeling considering complex insitu rock mass
and stress conditions. The study demonstrates how stable backfill acts as a good support measure in high in-situ
stress conditions to improve mining stoping environment as well as it helps in waste management by means of
putting waste rock in to the underground rather than on the surface thus saving our flora and fauna of our mother
earth. Also, study signifies the importance of backfilling towards sustainable development of the underground
hard rock mining
