Survey ordered into radiation near uranium minesThe Bihar government has asked the Bhabha Atomic Research Centre to ascertain the possible effects of radiation on the residents of Jadugoda village in east Simbhum district. Many villagers there reportedly suffer cancer, physical disabilities and other diseases, allegedly due to the radiation from the Uranium Corporation of India Limited's mines in the area. Replying to a question in the state legislative council, Mines Minister Sitaram Singh said the survey had also been recommended by the environmental committee. Council chairman Jabir Hussain directed the government to get the BARC report at the earliest. |
