Speaking at the event, Th Chaoba pointed out that humans with their intelligence have developed ways to tap various natural resources including solar and wind energy, but in this race for development mankind is becoming more and more susceptible to cancer from foods, mobiles and other daily use items.
Hence, organising such awareness on radiation and various diseases caused by it including cancer is a step in the right direction, he added.
Dr Th Nabakumar mentioned that development has decreased number of deaths caused due to accidents, fighting, etc., but day by day there is increase in number of people dying due to ill-effects of radiation.
