&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;At least ten districts of Bihar have reported high levels of uranium in their groundwater, the primary source of drinking water in rural areas, which far exceeds the tolerable limit prescribed by the World Health Organization. Millions in Bihar are already facing a high disease burden due to elevated levels of arsenic, fluoride and iron in their water. Presence of uranium has multiplied their worries manifold. The state government is still yet to prepare a response plan. A ground report from Siwan, one of the affected districts.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;llness refuses to leave Baby Devi and her three sons who regularly suffer stomach ache, indigestion and vomiting. The doctor has informed them that the water they have been drinking all their lives has affected their livers, kidneys and the gallbladder. They have been prescribed some medicines to get rid of the pain and told to boil the water before drinking. But that is of little help.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&amp;ldquo;When water itself has become zehreela (toxic), I don&amp;rsquo;t think there&amp;rsquo;s any escape from death. I have lived enough but my sons have just begun their youth, I fear for them,&amp;rdquo; 45-year-old Baby Devi, a resident of Daraundha block&amp;rsquo;s Balidih village in Bihar&amp;rsquo;s Siwan district, told Gaon Connection.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Nearly every family in Balidih village, which has an estimated population of about 1,500 persons, is facing the consequences of consuming water laden with uranium, a radioactive metal. Baby Devi&amp;rsquo;s neighbour, 65-year-old Doodhnath Singh, said that he was struggling with the after-effects of damaged lungs, kidneys, and liver.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&amp;ldquo;I am fed up with the constant pain. Sometimes my chest hurts and on other days it&amp;rsquo;s a stomach ache which makes it hard for me to sleep or eat anything,&amp;rdquo; Singh said with a weak voice.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;A joint research conducted by Patna-based Mahavir Cancer Institute and Research Centre and The University of Manchester has found high levels of uranium in the groundwater of ten districts in Bihar. Groundwater is the primary source of drinking water in rural Bihar.&lt;/p&gt;

After arsenic, fluoride and iron, now high levels of radioactive uranium in Bihar’s groundwater - OP Singh

-GaonConnection.com At least ten districts of Bihar have reported high levels of uranium in their groundwater, the primary source of drinking water in rural areas, which far exceeds the tolerable limit prescribed by the World Health Organization. Millions in Bihar are already facing a high disease burden due to elevated levels of arsenic, fluoride and iron in their water. Presence of uranium has multiplied their worries manifold. The state government is still yet to prepare a response plan. A ground report from Siwan, one of the affected districts. llness refuses to leave Baby Devi and her three sons who regularly suffer stomach ache, indigestion and vomiting. The doctor has informed them that the water they have been drinking all their lives has affected their livers, kidneys and the gallbladder. They have been prescribed some medicines to get rid of the pain and told to boil the water before drinking. But that is of little help. “When water itself has become zehreela (toxic), I don’t think there’s any escape from death. I have lived enough but my sons have just begun their youth, I fear for them,” 45-year-old Baby Devi, a resident of Daraundha block’s Balidih village in Bihar’s Siwan district, told Gaon Connection.  Nearly every family in Balidih village, which has an estimated population of about 1,500 persons, is facing the consequences of consuming water laden with uranium, a radioactive metal. Baby Devi’s neighbour, 65-year-old Doodhnath Singh, said that he was struggling with the after-effects of damaged lungs, kidneys, and liver.  “I am fed up with the constant pain. Sometimes my chest hurts and on other days it’s a stomach ache which makes it hard for me to sleep or eat anything,” Singh said with a weak voice. A joint research conducted by Patna-based Mahavir Cancer Institute and Research Centre and The University of Manchester has found high levels of uranium in the groundwater of ten districts in Bihar. Groundwater is the primary source of drinking water in rural Bihar. Please click here to read more.
