Recently a Punjab Pollution Control (PPCB) sponsored epidemiological study done by Post Graduate Institute of Medical Research (PGIMR) Chandigrarh has indicated the rise in cancer cases in cotton belt of Punjab. The study indicates that Cotton belt of Punjab is engulfed by lethal pesticides and causing major health problems. Though this study was done in one Talwandi Sabo block of Bathinda district but the similar symptoms are emerging from entire cotton belt. The situation is so grim that village after village is reporting cancer, reproductive disorder, birth of mentally retarded children and other pesticide related diseases.
