Tata Memorial Centre Raises Concerns Over Stone Quarrying
Imagine a hospital for people with cancer, where they need clean air to get better.
Nearby, people are digging up rocks, which makes a lot of noise and dust.
This dust is like tiny bits of dirt that can make sick people even sicker.
The hospital says the rock digging is happening without permission and is hurting the patients and the building.
They wrote a letter to the government asking them to stop the digging so they can protect the patients.
Tata Memorial Centre in Navi Mumbai raises concerns about illegal stone quarrying near its facility.
Unregulated quarrying causes noise and dust pollution, endangering patients and damaging the environment.
The quarrying activities have persisted for decades, violating environmental norms.
Hospital buildings, including beams and slabs, have been damaged by the quarrying.
The hospital has requested immediate intervention from the Chief Minister to halt the quarrying.
