Challenges of the district
: Our research with local communities There are about 20 to 25 iron factories in and around
Raigarh. Due to these factories there has been environment violation
to a great extent. The toxic gases coming out of the chimneys cause
major health crisis among all the residents. Government is renting
out lands for factories and industries without considering the ill
effects on the people. People have objected to these expansions of
factories but their plea fell on deaf ears. Inspite of all this, government
is still providing the companies with forest and environment clearance
certificate. This is one of the major problems faced by people living
in this district.
