Eta. Hundreds of farmers and villagers of Etah district are on strike to shut down the Murli Krishna Chakori factory which is spreading poison in Etah. Let us tell you that in the surrounding villages, more than a dozen people have died of cancer in a few days and half a dozen people are suffering from serious diseases.
Let us tell you that this entire matter pertains to the Murli Krishna Chakori factory built near 43rd PAC Corps, Badaria Road, Kasganj Road in Etah district. Here, hundreds of villagers from about half a dozen villages sat at the Etah Collectorate dharna under the banner of “All India Kisan Union” to get the factory closed. Holding placards and banners, hundreds of farmers and villagers shouting slogans reached the protest site where they went to the Collectorate demanding closure of the Chakori factory which was serving poison to half a dozen villages.
When no representative of the administration came to listen to their problems for a long time, a crowd of hundreds of angry farmers and villagers sat on a dharna and sounded the alarm of an indefinite strike against the Murli Krishna Chakori Factory. Villagers and farmers said that due to the dirty waste and water released from the Chakori factory, today the water and air of about half a dozen nearby villages has become polluted and poisonous and ash is coming out day and night from the burning chimney of the factory. Which accumulates in people’s lungs and nose due to which people are becoming victims of serious diseases like cancer.
Let us tell you that till now more than 12 people have died due to serious diseases like cancer in these villages and currently seven people are suffering from cancer. The people of the same village have to breathe dirty and contaminated air and the water has become contaminated. The factory waste gets scattered on the roads by tractor drivers while coming and going. School going children are facing difficulties.
National President of All India Kisan Union, Kailash Lodhi, who is leading the protest in protest against Murali Krishna Chakori Factory, has expressed his displeasure and has demanded from the administration to immediately order the closure of this Chakori Factory Murali Krishna Factory. Otherwise, now while announcing the indefinite strike, National President Kailash Lodhi said that if his demand is not accepted then this strike will become even more violent and the responsibility will be on the Etah district administration.
