Jharkhand Government should protect Life & Property of the Tribal people

Radio active radiation of Jaduguda Uranium Mines located in Jamshedpur is inviting another Hiroshima or Bhopal tragedy. If the state and central government do not warn in time, then there can be a big danger to the population and the environment and can also cause huge destruction.
Memorandum was given by the Central President of Jhakhandi Information Rights Forum, Central Vice President of Tribal Moolvasi Jan Adhikar Manch, former MLA candidate, Vijay Shankar Nayak, to His Excellency Madam President of India / Prime Minister / Home Minister / Union Minister Forest Environment and Climate Change Department / Governor of Jharkhand / Somewhere in his letter sent to the Chief Minister of Jharkhand/Union Minister of Mines and Geology in this context (e-mail Trahimam message letter), he further said that Uranium is mined from Jaduguda, which is converted into a simple material yellow cake and fed into nuclear reactors by UCIL. This Yellow Cake is shipped by HyderabadNuclear reactor works as a fuel and it is made electricity. The waste that comes out after the generation of electricity from the nuclear reactor, the uranium waste is brought back to Jharkhand Jaduguda and then it is put in all the tailing ponds of Jaduguda.
Shri Nayak further said that today the situation with uranium wastes in mining and tailing ponds is so alarming that survey near Jaduguda Uranium Mine has found excessive deformities and cancer A shocking revelation Indian Doctors for Peace and Development IDPD external link A detailed survey as reportIn Uranium Corporation of India Limited, Uranium Corporation of India Limited (UCIL) brings to the fore some naked truths about the health hazards faced by the miners and employees. The study was conducted between May and August 2007, said Shakeel Ur Rehman, secretary of the association’s national council. It was done in two different phaseswas conducted while one survey focused on villages within 2.5 km radius from the mines similarly the survey was conducted in villages about 30 km away from the mining area Total (2,118) households in the first category while others (1,956) households in the second category was studied. According to the survey more children around 9.5 percent new born babies are dying every year due to severe physical deformity, primary infertility is becoming common in which 9.6% women are not able to conceive even after 3 years of marriage, dying of cancer in the surrounding village The number of people is about 2.87 percent and 68.33 percentPeople are dying before the age of 62 (The Telegraph 2 Mar 2008)Mr. Nayak further said that teleponds have been created by excavating the hills around Jaduguda where radioactive radiation debris from uranium mining is disposed of, due to which three tailing ponds have polluted the surrounding ground water and the Subarnarekha river. Is. He further said that the Tata Institute of Social Science had done a study in 2003, quoting the study, this institution said that between 1998 and 2003, about 18% of women in this area either had abortions or gave birth to dead children. 30% women have faced some kind of difficulty in pregnancymentioned.Such is the appalling situation that the birth of handicapped children, miscarriages, problems in pregnancy, the abundance of diseases like cancer and TB. All this is the gift of some mining, it is not that the people living here did not fall sick earlier, the same diseases used to happen here as they used to happen in other places. These diseases used to be cured by normal treatment or home medicines, but today the situation has become such that doctors are not able to predict the disease and treatment is far away, all this has happened after the start of uranium mining. A recent study revealed that 9000 people in the villages around these mines are suffering from problems like infertility, cancer, respiratory diseases, abortion and congenital disabilities. Nuclear scientist Sanghamitra Gadekar conducted a survey to check the effect of nuclear waste in the village.
According to Gadekar, there are many cases of miscarriage and infant death in the womb, along with this the workers are given only one uniform in a week, they have to wear it, they also take it home, where the wife, mother and daughters wear it. Washes with contaminated water, during which they are exposed to radiation. The vicious cycle of radioactive pollution is going on in Jaduguda, which has to be stopped in public interestMr. Nayak further said that the issue was brought to the notice of a team of the Planning Commission by Chief Minister Hemant Soren who described Jharkhand as suffering most from the after-effects of the mining activities. Many of the children in the village have congenital disabilitiesare born with which is a matter of serious concern for the state.He also highlighted other adverse effects of mining in terms of displacement, damage to environment, fair compensation policy, long term impact on livelihood of local people and contamination of underground water sources (Times of India 6 May 2014)
Shri Nayak further stated that the import of radioactive waste/material and radio-medical waste for dumping/storage or recycling or further extraction in Jaduguda should be stopped immediately.
All the villages around the pre-existing tailings dams/ponds should be immediately evacuated to a safer place till proper and permanent rehabilitation takes place.
DAE, BARC and UCIL should set up a full fledged medical center in or around Jadugora with qualified medical personnel for treatment of low level radiation related ailments, its functioning should be monitored by AIIMS. He also said that independent radiation monitoring was carried out at the Jaduguda uranium mine site.
In 2001 and 2002, Hiroaki Koede of the Research Reactor Institute at Kyoto University conducted field trips to monitor the environmental impacts of the Jaduguda uranium mine. They monitored external gamma dose rates, radionuclide concentrations in soil and radon concentrations in the air, and said that pollution from the uranium mine at Jadugoda was spreading:
The external gamma dose rate exceeds 1 mSv/y in villages, and reaches 10 mSv/y around backwater ponds.
The soil around tailings ponds is contaminated with uranium. Particularly high levels of pollution were found in Dungridih village, which is adjacent to the pond no. No serious contamination was found in other villages.
Radon released from tailing puddles etc. spreads pollution.
Waste rock mined for construction materials causes pollution. Other findings include: No. 1 tailings pond shows contamination by cesium. This fact suggests that the radioactivity was brought from a source other than the uranium mine.
The product uranium concentrate was carelessly disposed of and found scattered at Rakha Mine Railway Station. Which is not good for the people of the state. Newly created that on this important point, the state government and the central government should take urgent necessary steps and work in the direction of solving the problems arising from the Jaduguda uranium mine and protect the life and property of the tribal people of Jharkhand.
