Now is on UP trip to meet his relatives etc. Priorities. Remember this idiot? He selected the bride, they got engaged 2 days back. Did RTPCR yesterday as he goes back to Canada on Sunday and flights are banned, his test came positive. Over 100 people attended his stupid engagement. Absolutely pathetic morons everywhere. No sense of responsibility or value of human life. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t know man.... pollution is a big concern... Goverment started a thermal plant in bathinda to produce electricity and provide jobs... pollution from the plant led to what is known as the cancer belt of India, having the highest rate of cancer in India... ground water is unsuitable to drink, many a families have lost loved ones to cancer from this region...we have what is know as cancer train taking pts from that region to Cancer hospital.. Ultimately the plant was shut down but many years too late.. cancer train — https://www.google.co.in/amp/s/www.businessinsider.in/the-shocking-tale-of-indias-cancer-train/amp_articleshow/52690219.cms Edited April 24, 2021 by hsk_colossus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quote It is in this Malwa region that scores of farmers and their families are coming to grips with cancer and numerous health problems due to the lush fields hiding a scary tale.Malwa, which is also Punjab’s cotton belt, requires the use of a startling amount of pesticides. Reportedly, farmers in this region use 15 different pesticide sprays and the unregulated and excessive use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides have resulted in farmers and their families living in a cesspool of toxicity. Quote In 2011, it was also found that Punjab’s farmers use of pesticides is 923 grams per hectare was way above the national average of 570g/ha. Even worse is the fact that farmers also end up using the empty pesticide cans to store not only water but also food, which get contaminated with high heavy-metal toxicity. The residents have little choice than to drink highly polluted water or bathe in tap water that are sourced from canals where industrial effluents are discharged with impunity.

Pesticides are a factor too probably bigger than thermal plant but so is the plant.. that has been proven by multiple studies... “Scientists in Punjab who have studied the presence of uranium in the state have dismissed the government denials as a whitewash. "If the government says there is a high level of uranium in an area that would create havoc – they don't want to openly say something like that," said Dr Chander Parkash, a wetland ecologist working at Guru Nanak Dev University, Amritsar. Both he and Dr Surinder Singh, who works at the same university and has also carried out tests on the state's ground water, said it was clear that uranium was present in large quantities and should be investigated further. Another scientist, Dr GS Dhillon, a former chief engineer with the irrigation department, is convinced that the uranium has come from the power stations and accuses the authorities of failing to control the ash ponds, which he believes have contaminated the ground water. Their concerns are bolstered by a report from the Kurchatov Institute in Moscow, Russia's leading state organisation for nuclear research, published last month in the Russian Academy of Sciences' Thermal Engineering journal. The report's author, DA Krylov, raised serious doubts about the safety of coal-fired thermal power stations (TPSs), concluding that radiation from ash residues and from chimney emissions built up around coal-fired power plants and posed an additional risk to those living and working in the area” “Experts at GNDU say the uranium could have come from the Tosam Hills of Bhiwani area of Haryana, where granite rocks having high radioactivity are found. The concentration of uranium in groundwater of that area is about 60 mg/litre. But it is difficult to understand how this contamination occurred in the absence of any major geological shift.The likely possibility is that it may be on account of environmental changes caused by wastes produced by the Thermal Plants of 1360 MW operating in Bathinda district since the 1970’s. These power plants burn 24,000 tons of coal daily to produce electricity, and produce flue gases, flyash and pond ash which is stored in Ash Ponds in the form of slurry (Ten parts water to one part ash). The Ash Ponds have not been provided with “Lining Material” so as to prevent seeping water to mix with the groundwater and cause contamination. An examination of samples from close to the Ash Pond at Buchu Mandi near the Lehra Mohabat Thermal Plant, and Jai Singh Wala near Bathinda Thermal Plant reveal that in the case of the former the concentration of uranium is 74.9 mg/litre with the average value of 56.9 mg/litre (highest value tested of 90 samples taken), while in the latter case the values obtained are 61.1 mg/litre with the average value of 52.7 mg/litre. So the “epicentre” of the activity lies near the thermal plant which has resulted in contamination of groundwater of the area. As we move away from the epicentre, the concentration of uranium in the groundwater decreases. At the farthest sample tested, i.e. of Rampura, the concentration measured is of 9.3 mg/litre, the lowest value tested.” Edited April 24, 2021 by hsk_colossus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Max Pain Posted April 24, 2021 Report Share Posted April 24, 2021 I am told to get admitted tomorrow as my symptoms are slowly showing up.

Ph3N0M Posted April 24, 2021 Report Share Posted April 24, 2021 My chaachi died of covid symptoms (untested). And chaacha is serious with two kids at home. Papa just went to them to give money (not needing to better judgment) and likely my chaacha might go to a doctor tomorrow. My parents have still not vaccinated. Very frustrated trying to convince them everyday to do so. I am hoping my father at least gets it in the next couple of days and my mother follows suit if he remains well after. But no one (except my father) was wearing mask even at the place where someone died and many were symptomatic. And there were many people. In general, no one still cares about masks even though people are in serious condition all around them. This is from Patna. Need to head out somewhere, will post later. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still remember when I went to bring my Property card he asked for money I said no, he told to then go find it from the store room. When I found the file the page with our number was the only one missing (Not a coincidence). Just see how much they are into this. I came out and told him il complaint online and not paying you any money. Got a call from him 2 days later and got my card. 80% of the problems in the country are because of corrupt Babu's.
