Italy has given poison to India in exchange for Melody chocolate.

Look, in a place called Vicenza in Italy,

there was a chemical factory named Miteni,

whose job was to manufacture a harmful chemical called PFAS.

Now, the problem with this chemical was that it was a forever chemical,

meaning it could never be destroyed, whether it mixed with water

फिर चाहे ये पानी के साथ मिल जाए या फिर किसी ह्यूमन बॉडी के साथ।

And that is exactly what happened, this chemical mixed into their water and more

than 300,000 people there were affected,

due to which people started getting diseases like rashes and cancer.

And Italy banned this factory forever inside its country, and along with that,

अपने देश के अंदर और साथ में जो 11 एग्जीक्यूटिव्स थे

the 11 executives who were running this factory were sentenced to 140 years.

But look at the wonder of Indian people that in 2019,

this factory auctioned its machinery.

And only one company from the entire world placed a bid, And it was Indian,

Viva Lifesciences,

which is a subsidiary of an Indian company, Laxmi Organic Industries.

And as expected, that factory shut down in Italy and straight in Nashik,

और सीधा इंडिया के महाराष्ट्र के नासिक में

Maharashtra, India, that factory legally started operating.

Now, many people protested against this,

including even the Maharashtra Pollution Control Board.

But you will be surprised to hear that in India,

regarding the chemical called PFAS,

there is no regulation or law at all.

While manufacturing PFAS chemicals is banned in almost every country, in India,

this factory is operating legally. Meaning, if this chemical, just like in Italy,

यानी कि अगर ये केमिकल इटली की तरह

gets mixed into a water body or spreads in the environment,

then there will be no one to take responsibility for it, nor anyone to put a

और ना ही इसपे कोई रोक लगाने वाला।
