200 marble stone sculptures died in 2 decades without medical attention...

Jagdish Ji is visiting a village called Dhuandhar near Jabalpur in Madhya Pradesh where marble stone sculptures live. An NGO worker working with the community alleges that more than 200 artists have died in last couple of decades due to stone dust but they do not get any medical support from the Govt. All the artists are adivasis and they need to travel to Jabalpur, 20 kms away to get medical attention. For more Jagdish Ji can be reached at 09893905883
