Due to blind industrialisation Raipur in Chattisgarh is surrounded by more than 100 Sponge Iron industries with no pollution control over them.The people of Raipur and adjoining areas are forced to breathe Iron-ash also called Ash-Dyke and the whole city is covered by this black dust.
The villages very close to these Industries has already started showing severe health problems.Not only are we breathing iron we are drinking iron and other chemicals too since the uderground water is getting polluted with each passing day.
Is it so easy for the State Government and the Business houses to misguide people in the name of development?
After signing MOU's with Multinational companies very soon the beautiful forest area of BASTAR popularly known for its tribal culture and "Maina" bird will soon have the same fate as that of Raipur city.
Is there anybody out there to help the poor tribals,forest and the animals living in them?
