Indigenous people from Talsa village in northern Jharkhand, India, must now face the prospect of displacement—in addition to lung cancer, skin diseases and physical deformities as a result of a nearby open cast uranium mine, which has operated for decades. The Uranium Corporation of India Limited (UCIL), who runs the mine, is attempting to gain control of the villager’s land for a new tailings pond...approximately 1500 people will be completely displaced if the company acquires the land. [the Resource Centre invited UCIL to respond but it did not do so]
