One, w...Well ... at least two responses for now ...<br />One, when I lived in Neyveli, I had severe allergies. Once, it got so worse that the typical tablets couldn't work and they had to give me some big-fat injection. During my undergrad days in Coimbatore, no allergies at all ... <br />Recently, at the reunion, a classmate (KK) was talking about his father's mysterious illness that forced him into an early medical retirement even before he turned 50.<br />My point here is that it could be that we didn't know anything better at that time?<br /><br />Second, maybe things were better at Neyveli because of how the project was planned out (and perhaps thanks to those West Germans.) Apparently even early on it was decided to build the town with extensive green and open space, and not to crowd the living areas, in order to provide as much "lung space" as possible.

We lived in a lignite town- right. We should be walking examples of the horrors of pollution - right ? But Neyveli was, and is, one of the cleanest places around. How come ??Rameshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11782192840421019943noreply@blogger.com
