CPCB Orders Report on Silicosis Cases in West Bengal

Imagine tiny dust particles from stone factories getting into people's lungs.

These particles cause a sickness called silicosis, which can be very dangerous.

People in a place called Asansol in West Bengal are getting sick.

Someone complained to the Prime Minister.

Now, the government is looking into it.

The government is asking for a report and sending help, but people are still getting sick.

Some people have sadly died.

The government is also providing money and support for the families affected.
