INDIA-HEALTH-ENVIRONMENT-POLLUTION

To go with India-health-environment-pollution,FEATURE by Abhaya SRIVASTAVA In this photograph taken on October 30, 2014, disabled Indian villager Bhajan Singh sits on his tricycle as femily members look on in the village of Teja Ruhela, close to the Indian-Pakistan border some 17kms from Fazilka in the northern state of Punjab. Since coming to power in May, nationalist Prime Minister Narendra Modi has pledged to clean up the beloved Ganges river, describing its pollution as a national shame. But in India's northwest frontier, where another river is heavily contaminated with lead, uranium and other metals, residents have long been left to fend for themselves. Experts suspect Indian factories and Pakistan tanneries pour untreated waste into the river where it eventually gathers and settles in its tranquil tailend, seeping into the ground water.
