Families that were displaced in the Tansa pipeline project have moved back to their neighbourhood even if it means living on the road, a front-page report said in this paper. More than 1,000 families were displaced from Vidyavihar in 2017 and placed in Mahul in Slum Rehabilitation Authrity (SRA) flats.

These Project Affected Persons (PAP) claim many of them fell prey to Tuberculosis (TB) because of the pollution in heavily industrialised Mahul. They claim they have a host of ailments like respiratory issues, hair loss, stomach bloating and dysentery because of the polluted air and water in Mahul. Their SRA homes are located uncomfortably close to several chemical plants and oil refineries which spew noxious fumes, effluents and sewage into the air and water.
