Mayapuri Scrap Market

Nearly four years after the Mayapuri scrap market in West Delhi was hit by a radiation leak, businessmen in the Asia's largest junk trade hub say no adequate preventive mechanism has been put in place by the authorities as promised after the incident.

It's been three weeks since radiation was first detected, since then 11 people have been hospitalized, one person has died but at Mayapuri's scrap market, as far as safety goes, nothing much has changed.

Search for nuclear waste at Mayapuri in Delhi resumes after NDTV's report on lethal radioactive pencils missing.

The Atomic Energy Regulatory Board is contemplating handing down severe punishment to Delhi University's Chemistry Department for allegedly failing to follow safety rules.

The Atomic Energy Regulatory Board has said Delhi University can be penalised for violating the rules and for carelessly discarding radioactive material.

Doctors attending on radiation exposure patients at All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) in New Delhi have given up hope after the death of one of the patients. Rajender, 35, a worker at a shop in Mayapuri scrap market, died at AIIMS on Monday. He was shifted there on April 13 from the DDU hospital, where he was initially admitted.

Close on the heels of radiation exposure at a scrap market here, experts on Tuesday detected one more source of radiation in the same area even as another affected person was admitted to AIIMS taking the number of victims to seven.
