Dear Mr Prime Minister,
It is scientifically known fact that the Asbestos, a fibrous mineral, causes serious illnesses, including malignant lung cancer, mesothelioma. It is a shame that in India Asbestos is widely used in floor tiles, ceiling tiles and roof materials without even informing public about its harmful effects.
Asbestos Cement Roof in India
Most of the developed countries, including Canada which is the biggest exporter of Asbestos to India, have BANNED Asbestos use in their own country. Then why it is still being used in India?
I am wondering if Indian Govt is just ignorant of the issue or if there is any special advantage to India by having more Indians with lung cancer?
Asbestos is cheap toxic material which remains it in the environment for years. Developed countries are facing problem on how to clear their old buildings from Asbestos. But here in India, instead of stop using it, we are still importing from Canada, Russia and other places.
May be you should watch the documentary below and learn more about it. I hope after watching this you’ll spread the word and help preventing Asbestos use in India.
Regards,
Amit
True Yogis should renounce worldly pleasures, give food and shelters to poors, but not like Baba Ramdev, who flies in private jets to start anti-corruption campaign.
Anna Hajare might have true intentions to cure corruption in India but having ally like Baba only hurts his campaign.
