Explanation:
Pollution, the dark side of rapid industrial development, tends frequently to be hidden from the public view. But anyone who has lived near a factory or power station knows the perils posed by the poisonous rubbish that is pumped into the air, dumped on the roadsides and fields or callously discharged into rivers.
Few places have experienced the dangers posed by pollution as starkly as the villagers of Nalavagulu in Karnataka who have been fighting an 11-year battle to protect themselves, from effluents discharged by a chemicals factory one kilometre away. Last fortnight, India Today's South India Bureau Chief Sam Rajappa and Correspondent Sreedhar Pillai visited Nalavagulu to investigate the problems faced by the villagers. Their report:
Nalavagulu village on the banks of the Tungabhadra in Chitradurga district of Karnataka, caught in the vice-like grip of escalating atmospheric pollution and contaminated water supply, faces slow though relentless death.
Within the ambience of the industrial township of Harihar, home of Birla's Poly-fibers, the 3,000-odd population of Nalavagulu today faces a grim prospect: cling to the land of their forebears and slide down into extinction or shift en masse to some safer haven.
A.K. Abdul Samad, Karnataka health minister, after his recent visit to Nalavagulu, said there could be no compromise on shifting the people, which had been the consensus of the populace of this unhappy village for almost a decade now.
All that is needed is 40 acres of land and enough funds to build them modest new dwellings. But who is going to foot the bill? The Karnataka Government has not shown the slightest inclination nor has K . L. Philip, chief executive of the Rs 25-crore Harihar Polyfibers, spread over a sprawling 800-acre campus.
The Nalavagulu villagers hardly have any escape hatch. A strange malady grips the people and even their livestock in this village. Men, women, children, and all animals are under the spell of this malady.
Not surprisingly, dogs have deserted Nalavagulu once the slow poisoning of the air they breathe, water they drink and the earth they tread was set in motion following the going on stream of Harihar Polyfibers in 1969. The villagers describe the malady as "a strange type of tuberculosis", which could prove fatal apart from being debilitating.
When the Birlas chose in the '60s the land between Nalavagulu and the township of Harihar-blessed with perennial supply of water from the Tungabhadra. abundant electricity from the Sharavathy hydro-electric project at the world famous 900-feet Sharavathy water falls in the neighbouring Shimoga district and plentiful wood from the surrounding forests-to set up this factory it was understandably looked upon as a boon.
For it assured the rustic villagers a plentitude of jobs. What was looked upon as a Kalpavraksha (a divine tree with an ability to bestow all types of gifts to its devotees), soon turned out to be a nightmare.
