Educated elites of India are well aware about environmental & health problems caused by the ‘harvest of greed’ in Punjab.
But as long as these fake #FarmersProstests are serving their political objectives their are supporting it. To hell with environmental & lives of poor!

Nearly all natural resources in Punjab are polluted & depleted by mindless use of over-irrigation induced by free electricity, used of banned pesticides, and mindless burning of crop residue.
As along as rich ruling class is safe no one will talk about deaths & Cancer Train!

Rich farmers practice a wicked bigotry at their homes. For own consumption, they grow organic grains or buy it from market.
To even more maximise their profits, they milk the corrupt FCI procurement & storage system. Leakage of millions from public exchequer adds more profit!

If any so called ‘climate change’ activist support such super exploitation of nature, they’re not activists, they are terrorists against nature.
Forget about climate, they’re aiding to the mass killings of poor by intentionally contaminating land & water with banned pesticides!

The patients on this "Cancer train" are mostly small #farmers from the southern districts of Punjab- Mansa, Sangrur, Bhatinda, Faridkot, Moga, Muktsar, Ferozepur and Sangrur, which together make up the Malwa region. https://www.businessinsider.in/the-shocking-tale-of-indias-cancer-train/articleshow/52690219.cms #FarmersProstests
Malwa is Punjab’s cotton belt. Reportedly, farmers in this region use 15 different pesticide sprays and the unregulated and excessive use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides have resulted in farmers and their families living in a cesspool of toxicity.
In 2011, it was found that Punjab’s farmers use of pesticides is 923 grams per hectare was way above the national average of 570g/ha.
