00:49Since 2018 to 2022, we have been researching the uranium here.
00:56We have dug about 30-40 holes and researched it.
00:59In 2023, when the government of Vizag asked for the permission of the central government,
01:04they gave us the permission to mine here.
01:07In October 2023, the government of Rajya Sabha gave us the permission.
01:11There are about 15 villages around the Kapadala Reserve Forest.
01:15There are about 35,000 villagers.
01:18Since there are a lot of problems here, we are definitely fighting against it.
01:22Wherever we look in the world, uranium can be beneficial for the country,
01:26but for the people, there are a lot of health problems,
01:29and there are a lot of problems for their livelihood and future.
01:32The people here live on three crops, if not one.
01:36At such times, people are suffering a lot because of uranium.
01:40That's why we, the people of these 15 villages,
01:43have organized a meeting today,
01:46and we have decided to stop the mining of uranium.
01:51We have also formed a committee to stop the mining of uranium.
02:01We are fighting against it in the High Court and Supreme Court.
02:04We are planning to take it to Delhi and stop it.
02:12The people of these 15 villages have come here to stop the mining of uranium.
02:18Because of the health problems of the people of these villages,
02:22the water and the environment are polluted,
02:25and their livelihood is in danger.
02:28That's why all the villagers have come here to stop the mining of uranium.
02:31A few days ago, we met with the district officials and MPs,
02:36and we gave them our request.
02:39In the next few days, we will take this issue forward peacefully.
