People with silicosis have 4 times higher risk of developing TB & 3 times higher risk of dying if they get TB. Mining globally is 3.7% of GDP & in some high TB burden countries is even a higher % of GDP, and growing fast. Employer-led response is the right thing to do. @StopTB
Announcement of a mining industry-led movement to end TB @ 40th @StopTB Board Meeting on 6 Nov. Mining companies from South Africa and Indonesia launched the Bali Statement on TB and Silicosis and announced a mining industry-led movement to end TB.

Thank you for your solidarity in amplifying the concerns of 8,000+ residents. We deserve a safer and healthier living environment, and civic agencies must come forward to address these issues.
With our collective efforts, our voice will soon reach @MCD_Delhi, @DCSOUTHZONE, and @praveshwahi.

#Day_7 | 8:00 AM, 18 September.
A full week on, the situation at #MegaHousingComplex D6, #VasantKunj remains pathetic and unacceptable.
Scattered garbage continues to lie openly right in front of the Mandir used by #MegaHousingComplex and D6 residents. Cows are again feeding around the waste—an obvious sanitation, public-health, and animal-welfare concern.
Seven days should not be required to provide a clean collection point, adequate covered bins, and dependable waste lifting. Yet the site remains a daily reminder of civic neglect.
@MCD_Delhi Please clear the accumulated waste completely, install sufficient covered bins, disinfect the area, and ensure frequent lifting so this does not recur.
@praveshwahi please direct officials and make the #SwachhBharat a movement in true sense.
@jmehlawatbjp @RamvirBidhuri: The residents deserve a clean, dignified, and safe environment around their place of worship.

2–3 feet of water stood in the basement of Saraswati Apartments, #MegaHousingSociety, Sector D6, #VasantKunj for 3–5 days in the previous monsoon — around the columns holding up an occupied DDA high-rise. Years of seepage, a decade of failed waterproofing contracts, and now dampness climbing into flats above by capillary action. Residents are asking @LtGovDelhi sir and @official_dda for one thing: an independent structural audit and a permanent fix. Prevention today can save lives tomorrow.

@official_dda has shown remarkable promptness in undertaking destructive work in an otherwise well-maintained park in the name of demarcation. This could have been done peacefully through boundary poles at intervals, without damaging the park.
Instead, a large police contingent brought in buses appears intended to create fear among residents. A favourable court hearing does not justify such haste or a show of force. The land will remain with DDA in any case—whether or not a wall is built today.
On the contrary residents of Saraswati and other three sister societies of #megahousingcomplex D6 #VasantKunj are still awaiting in meaningful issues as raised in tweet below:

TB prevention is a shared responsibility.
By following basic hygiene practices, we can protect our families, communities, and nation from TB.
Let’s come together to break the chain and move towards a TB-Free India.

देश के युवाओं के लिए यह किसी की ज़िंदगी सँवारने का असली मौका है। जब युवा आगे बढ़कर किसी टीबी मरीज की मदद की ज़िम्मेदारी लेते हैं, तो एक इंसान की जान के साथ-साथ उसका पूरा परिवार टूटने से रुक जाता है। युवाओं की यही एक कोशिश टीबी-मुक्त भारत के सपने को सच बनाएगी।
