Residents of Syalodra village in Rajasthan’s Sikar district say that exposure to mining dust has caused a surge in silicosis, a lung disease that has already claimed more than 50 lives. They allege that the Supreme Court‑appointed panel tasked with investigating the Aravalli region’s environmental impact has not visited the village, despite their pleas for intervention.
