Giridhari Patra from Niyamgiri Suraksha Samiti in Odisha says we had a meeting yesterday where villagers complained that they are facing huge health problems due to Vedanta factory nearby. People from one village said that 22 people have died of TB in the village in last few years and they blame the pollution from company for that. Company is also polluting their water and they are facing drinking water problem. Many are developing skin diseases and company has made no health facility for villagers.
