Researchers of IIT Mandi
Reported & Written By Kumud Sharma, Diary Times, Mandi, June 14 :Problems related to drinking water always take a terrible form in the summer season and poor people yearn for drinking water and have to face many diseases by drinking dirty water. Today we are going to introduce you to such a heart-wrenching news in which it has been proved that drinking water will cause serious diseases like cancer, heart attack in your body over time, from which a poor person will not be able to survive even after spending lakhs of rupees. The entire research has been published by the god-like researchers of IIT Mandi in a research report to make the common people aware.
It is worth mentioning that researchers from IIT Mandi and IIT Jammu have discovered harmful pollutants causing cancer, heart attack and many other serious diseases in 100% of the groundwater being used in North India.
The most sad thing is that even in 100% of the ground water of Baddi-Barotiwala, the biggest industrial area of ​​Himachal Pradesh, pollutants that cause cancer, heart attack and many other serious diseases and are most harmful for the body are found, raising big questions.
Researchers have also found out that the ground water of the entire Baddi-Barotiwala area contains so many polluted chemicals that it is very difficult for a common man to avoid consuming it.
Researchers have probed every pulse of the underground water (groundwater) which is being used in maximum quantity for agriculture and drinking water in India.
Researchers found that in India, the rapid integration of villages with cities, the establishment of dangerous chemical industries in villages, and the forced mixing of dangerous injections and chemicals in agriculture are leading to the excessive use of groundwater by everyone, causing harm to it.
Industries have the biggest hand in spoiling 100% of the ground water. Not only this, these industries have even polluted the water of all the rivers of North India.
This is the condition of Baddi-Barotiwala, the biggest industrial area of ​​Himachal Pradesh. Industries in Baddi-Barotiwala are forcefully mixing dangerous chemicals that can kill humans in the underground water. Poor people will die by drinking this dangerous ground water.
By playing with the guidelines of the Himachal Pradesh government, industries in Baddi-Barotiwala are forcefully mixing 100% chemicals in groundwater. Poor people are facing death by drinking dirty water containing such dangerous chemicals. Due to which, from 2013 to 2024, people living in the entire Baddi-Barotiwala area have lost their lives due to heart-wrenching diseases like cancer, heart attack and kidney failure.
Dr. Deepak Swami, Associate Professor, School of Civil and Environmental Engineering, IIT Mandi, and his research student Utsav Rajput, along with Dr. Nitin Joshi, Assistant Professor, Department of Civil Engineering, IIT Jammu, have opened the eyes of the people by publishing the entire research paper.
The entire heart-wrenching research paper has been published in the prestigious journal Science of the Total Environment.
The research team of IIT Mandi and IIT Jammu conducted a ground study to find out the current status of dangerous pollution being created by the industries in Baddi-Barotwala, the biggest industrial area of ​​Himachal Pradesh.The ground study led the research team of IIT Mandi and IIT Jammu to know that a large number of poor people living in the Baddi-Barotwala area are consuming water which is dangerous for their health and is being mixed in the ground water by the industries.
Also, while giving information about the entire research by Dr. Deepak Swami, Associate Professor, School of Civil and Environmental Engineering, IIT Mandi, it has been said that in the entire research, the groundwater of Baddi-Barotwala, the largest industrial area of ​​​​Himachal Pradesh, is being suppressed by rocks, especially calcium carbonate rocks and the amount of uranium was found to be the same in all the water samples, in which dangerous metals are being mixed by the industries, the same uranium and molybdenum were already available.
Apart from this, the research has also revealed that consumption of dangerous groundwater can cause many types of dangerous diseases to everyone from children to the elderly, which are impossible to treat.Along with natural uranium, metals like zinc, lead, cobalt and barium are being forcibly mixed in groundwater by the industries.Due to consumption of dangerous groundwater, adults in the house are getting carcinogenic which rapidly causes cancer in the body, this disease is caused by the consumption of nickel and chromium in groundwater.
