40 farmers of Simaldih village, located around three kilometres from Dhanbad railway station are facing drought for 10 years as 25 acres of their fertile land has turned barren.

The villagers alleged that a large drain connected to the Central Hospital of Bharat coking coal Limited (BCCL) has turned their land infertile. The villagers said that the chemical waste from the drain directly fall on their land. A few years ago the hospital authority used to get rid of the waste but they no longer do that.

Another farmer said that they used to grow paddy ten years ago but eight years ago, they observed that the height of paddy plants shortened and the production had gone down 50 percent. And from the very next year the production declined to almost zero.

Meanwhile the farmers have forwarded a letter to the Coal India Limited chairman, PS Bhattacharya and sent copies of it to chairman cum managing director of BCCL, Dhanbad DC and Dhanbad MP demanding the issue be addressed.

On the other hand the Chief Medical Officer of Central Hospital, Subhash Chandra Gupta, said that they have a proper system for destroying all medical waste in just two hours and they do not pour chemicals to drain.
