క్వార్ట్జైట్ మైనింగ్ యత్నాల్లో షిర్జీసాయి సంస్థ
Quartzite Mining Affecting Public Health: ఆ ఖనిజాన్ని వెలికి తీయటం వల్ల యజమానులకు కాసుల వర్షం కురుస్తుంది. కానీ కార్మికుల ప్రాణాలు గాల్లో కలిసిపోతాయి. పర్యావరణం దెబ్బతింటుంది. అలాంటి ఎంతో ప్రమాదకరమైన క్వార్ట్ జైట్ ఖనిజ నిక్షేపాలను వెలికితీసేందుకు మాజీ సీఎం జగన్ అస్మదీయ సంస్థ అయిన షిర్డీసాయి ఎలక్ట్రికల్స్ లిమిటెడ్ ముందుకు రావడాన్ని కర్నూలు జిల్లావాసులు తీవ్రంగా వ్యతిరేకిస్తున్నారు.

00:00In the Oruvakallu mandalam of Kurnool district,
00:03there is a shortage of quadrugite.
00:05There is a high demand for this ore in the market.
00:08Many people have spent crores of rupees on this ore.
00:11There are more than 10 such mining sites in the Oruvakallu area.
00:15More than 20 workers have died in this mine.
00:18The local people have stopped going to work with this ore.
00:21Many mining sites have been closed due to this ore.
00:23Presently, only three mines are working.
00:25Only other states are working in these mines.
00:28But, in the Oruvakallu area,
00:30the environmental impact surveys submitted for the mining of quadrugite
00:34seem to be able to stop the people from burning the ore.
00:37The surveys have shown that the quadrugite mines
00:41are at least capable of burning the ore.
00:44It is not clear how these numbers were calculated.
00:47It is not clear how much impact the ore will have on the workers working in these mines.
00:52In reality, the ore that is burnt by the mining of quadrugite
00:55contains more than 90% silicon dioxide.
00:58This shows the impact on the health of the workers.
01:01The EIAR only did not provide the details of the composition of quadrugite.
01:05With this mining, the impact on the environment is shown to be less.
01:09With the help of Arakkura Samacharan,
01:11the Kalu Shinyantrana Mandali has uploaded the surveys submitted by the Shirdi Sai Institution to the website.
01:16Based on this, on September 6,
01:19the population of Oruvakallu has increased by almost one acre.
01:22According to the Vaikappa government,
01:24in 2022, in Oruvakallu alone,
01:26in 42.05 hectares,
01:28three quadrugite mines have been mined by the Shirdi Sai Institution for the past 20 years.
01:45The workers working in the quadrugite mines are more at risk of developing silicosis.
01:49In Telangana, in Shadnagar,
01:51in the past, the workers working in the quadrugite mines lost their lives.
01:55In Devarakonda, a total of 10 people have died.
01:57In Ubbasam, in the area of Swasakostha,
01:59there are hundreds of people who have developed bronchitis.
02:03By putting in this effort,
02:04the environment will deteriorate,
02:06the crops for the farmers will be damaged,
02:08and there is a risk that the hearts will also get affected and die.
02:13We are opposing this effort.
02:15In the coming days,
02:17whatever meeting they are going to hold,
02:20we will attend that meeting and give a request letter.
02:24We are opposing the effort.
02:26We are opposing the people, the parties and the people's associations
02:32who are here and in the mandalam,
02:34and we are opposing them now.
02:37We want them to stop.
02:38If we look at a family,
02:40in one family,
02:42the father, his wife and his son.
02:45Three of them have died.
02:46If another son was born,
02:47he would have been in a bad situation,
02:49he would not be able to do anything.
02:51He lives in a remote area,
02:53near his house.
02:55He has no food to eat.
02:57Because of such factories,
02:59they are hoping for a higher salary,
03:02they are destroying their health and are dying.
03:05That is why we are opposing this.
03:07With the announcement of the Kalu Shani Yantra Mandala,
03:09the villagers are expressing their concern.
03:12The government is asking them not to allow their lives to be lost due to such mining.
03:18The people are saying that their health has deteriorated.
03:21More than 10 people die in the mines.
03:23The people who work in the factories,
03:25when they smell it,
03:27it is very very dangerous.
03:29It is more dangerous than cancer.
03:32If you are near cancer,
03:34you can't say that you have this disease.
03:36It goes inside,
03:37and it kills you.
03:40It is very very dangerous.
03:41Even if you work in a quarry,
03:43if you don't want it,
03:45you can't live a normal life.
03:47You have to work as a farmer.
03:49We are against it.
03:51We are against it as villagers.
03:53We are against it as human beings, not as villagers.
03:56Because we know how dangerous it is for the workers.
04:00It is better than the factory.
04:03It is better than the factory.
04:05There is nothing better than that.
04:07It is better than the factory.
04:11It is better than the factory.
04:13Even if you sing a song like this,
04:15you will become like Malladhan.
04:16You won't go.
