 Reality bites. India at its worst.
Environmental pollution in India results in a quarter of children deaths. In Delhi, air
pollution causes one death every hour. High concentrations of DDT are recorded in
mother’s milk and foetal blood. It gets worse. More than a million die every year due
to water pollution. A mutated environment is leading to a sick India.
Since good health and good environment go together, its time to spread the word. Let’s demand good health for all.
