“The people of Jadugoda, Jharkhand, have become the tragic collateral damage of the ruthless pursuit of development. While experts in research rooms and science labs pontificate about the monetary expenses of progress, families in Jadugoda are left to suffer the unbearable consequences of nuclear radiation, environmental degradation, and exploitation. The harrowing reality of their mutilation serves as a stark reminder that the cost of development is not just monetary but human as well. The injustices inflicted upon these families are a testament to the systemic failure of a development model that prioritizes profit over people and perpetuates environmental inequity.”
