Women in Rajasthan, India, are seeking compensation for the deaths of their husbands | Oneindia News

Women in India's Rajasthan state are demanding compensation for the deaths of their husbands who worked in sandstone mines, where they were exposed to fine silica dust that causes deadly silicosis. Now their widows are forced to work in the same mines The issue highlights a distressing situation in Rajasthan, where the husbands of women working in sandstone mines have died due to silicosis, a lung disease caused by long-term exposure to fine silica dust. These women, now widows, are faced with the difficult choice of continuing to work in the same hazardous conditions to support their families. Silicosis is a severe and irreversible respiratory disease that occurs when workers inhale crystalline silica dust, commonly found in sandstone mines. Prolonged exposure to this dust can lead to the formation of scar tissue in the lungs, resulting in breathing difficulties, chronic coughing, and in severe cases, death. Unfortunately, inadequate safety measures and poor working conditions in these mines have led to the widespread occurrence of silicosis among workers. In many cases, when the primary breadwinners succumb to silicosis, their widows are left with few alternatives to sustain themselves and their families. Due to economic necessity and limited employment opportunities, these women often find themselves compelled to continue working in the same dangerous mines, perpetuating a cycle of exposure to silica dust and associated health risks. #Rajasthan #Widow #WomenInRajasthan ~HT.99~PR.100~PR.152~ ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Oneindia News is a youth-driven channel that brings you stories that need your attention, are popular, informative, and entertaining.
