If a man poisons someone, he is liable to get a death sentence. But big corporations guilty of killing and harming millions go scot-free..
Twenty years back, in December 1984, the explosion in the Union Carbide Pesticide Factory in Bhopal killed 8000 people, and has poisoned.
20,000 since. The toxic legacy of that horror is still a living reality for the people of Bhopal. Years after the tragedy, toxins still leak into the water.

For the past 9 days, to protest against moves to further raise the height of the Sardar Sarovar Dam, violating the Supreme Court directives.

even the PM, the dam height continues to be raised. And yesterday, the protestors were brutally assaulted by the police, detained for hours in.
the Parliament Street jail and physically forced to change the venue of the dharna to Jantar Mantar..

How is the media responding to these voices of protest? The Bhopal protest has, as yet, been completely blacked out by the press..
And some papers are carrying out a vicious hate campaign against the Narmada protestors. The Indian Express lead editorial today warns that.
just because a `horde of exceedingly photogenic protestors' assemble at his gates, the Water Resources Minister should resist the `temptation.
to perform to their chants.' It also claims that the Narmada Control Authority Secretary is `satisfied' with the relief and rehabilitation as well as.
`grievance redressal mechanisms'. On the same page, it is a shame that former JNU VC YK Alagh has written a piece argues against any review.
of the decision to raise dam height, claiming that this decision has been taken after following all the norms, and that `there can be no question'.
of re-opening the issues of `resettlement, rehabilitation and environment issues'! He claims, amazingly, that `anyone travelling the Narmada.
Valley can see the Adivasi coming of age and thirsting for more energy - as farmer, artisan, householder'!.
.
Such reports maliciously ignore the painstaking records and proof assimilated by the NBA activists - proving that none of the three states.
has actually completed rehabilitation of those already displaced by the Dam; that while the Supreme Court and NCA promised that all must be.
rehabilitated 6 months before dam construction, 35,000 families who stand to be drowned out by the latest decision to raise the dam height are.
yet to be rehabilitated - though construction has already begun!.
.
Who is `The Adivasi' whom YK Alagh imagines? Has he met the scores of adivasis on the streets of Delhi now, and in the valley.
for the last 20 years, who are fighting a desperate battle for survival? We ask Express editor Shekhar Gupta - has he met Kamla Behn.
and Baba Bhai who lead the delegation of displaced people of the Valley? Are they `exceedingly photogenic'? Why hasn't his paper.
bothered to cover the protest of Bhopal victims - is it because his paper thinks the Bhopal victims aren't `photogenic' enough?!.

The abandoned lead mine at Ytterolden, Offerdal Parish, and Jämtland County, Sweden. Here one can view the open air mining shafts and the scrap-stone dumps as well as see traces of roasting and smelting of the ore. Well worth a visit.
Ytteroldens blygruva kan uppvisa spår efter brytning - gruvhål och skrotstensvarp - men också efter sovring, rostning och smältning. Välbevarad och värd ett besök! Offerdals socken, Jämtland.
Manchester UK 14.12.2016: A man has died after hitting crashing into a tree Police were called to the scene of the collision on Birchfields Road, at about 4.45am on Wednesday.

We bought a bag of 'dirt' (which was actually more gravel) when we went to Inner Space Caverns. You can mine for gems yourself and see what you get. The boys had fun when daddy rigged up a sifter. This bag was the emeralds bag and we did find some big pieces along with some pieces of purple quartz.

Peak District Lead Mining Museum
In my view a much-underrated Peak District tourist attraction.
The museum has a mockup of a lead mine in which visitors can experience and explore the conditions that lead miners endured during this dangerous time in England's industrial past.
The impressive museum is housed inside the Grand Pavilion.
