Chandil Dam in Saraikela Kharsawan district, Jharkhand, India, on August 25, 2025, opens 11 radial gates to release rising water following continuous rainfall. Five gates open by 2.5 meters and six gates by 1.5 meters as the dam water level reaches 181.22 meters. Rising levels of the Subarnarekha River affect surrounding villages, including displaced communities in Ichagarh, and increase flood risk in Jamshedpur.

REPORTAGE - Indien: Nuclear Wasteland
Jadugoda, Jharkhand, India -
Nuclear Wasteland
All of India's uranium comes from a few miles around Jadugoda, a tribal district of East Singbhum, the site of the oldest uranium mine in the country. Jadugoda is estimated to have more than a third of India's total mineral wealth. For years, the local population has suffered from the extensive environmental degradation caused by mining operations, responsible for the high frequency of radiation related sicknesses and developmental disorders found in the area. Increases in miscarriages, impotency, infant mortality, Down's syndrome, skeletal deformities, thalassemia have been reported. With raw radioactive 'yellow-cake' production to increase and more than 100,000 tons of radio-active waste stored at Jadugoda the threat to the local tribal communities is set to continue.
The Nuclear Graveyard, documents the devastating effects of uranium mining in Jadugoda, a small town in the eastern state of Jharkhand, which poses a serious threat to the environment and the local tribal communities. With the close proximity of the uranium mines, tailing dams and uranium waste, the people in and around Jadugoda are exposed to high levels of nuclear radiation.¨ÜConsequently, they have been suffering from serious diseases
Radiation and health experts across the world charge that toxic materials and radioactivity released by the uranium mining and processing operations are causing widespread infertility, congenital deformities, spontaneous abortions, genetic mutation, death of newborns, cancer, lung diseases
More than a hundred thousand tons of nuclear waste stored in the tailing ponds is constantly producing large amount of toxic gases and nuclear radiation that contaminate the environment. The dumped nuclear waste remains radioactive and dangerous for millions of years.

With the close proximity of the uranium mines, tailing dams and uranium waste, the people in and around Jadugoda are exposed to high levels of nuclear radiation.¨ÜConsequently, they have been suffering from serious diseases
Radiation and health experts across the world charge that toxic materials and radioactivity released by the uranium mining and processing operations are causing widespread infertility, congenital deformities, spontaneous abortions, genetic mutation, death of newborns, cancer, lung diseases
More than a hundred thousand tons of nuclear waste stored in the tailing ponds is constantly producing large amount of toxic gases and nuclear radiation that contaminate the environment. The dumped nuclear waste remains radioactive and dangerous for millions of years.

REPORTAGE - Indien: Nuclear Wasteland
Jadugoda, Jharkhand, India -
Nuclear Wasteland
All of India's uranium comes from a few miles around Jadugoda, a tribal district of East Singbhum, the site of the oldest uranium mine in the country. Jadugoda is estimated to have more than a third of India's total mineral wealth. For years, the local population has suffered from the extensive environmental degradation caused by mining operations, responsible for the high frequency of radiation related sicknesses and developmental disorders found in the area. Increases in miscarriages, impotency, infant mortality, Down's syndrome, skeletal deformities, thalassemia have been reported. With raw radioactive 'yellow-cake' production to increase and more than 100,000 tons of radio-active waste stored at Jadugoda the threat to the local tribal communities is set to continue.

Red hot pokers and hunger in India
Malnourished children display branding scars in the village of Mirgitand in the East Singhbhum district of Jharkhand state, India. The villagers are convinced that the distended bellies of their hungry children are full of worms and that the use of the red hot poker will "cure" them. They also think it combats a range of ailments, including malaria. A leaf is used to prevent the poker sticking to the skin but many of the children are badly scarred: some have died. © Gethin Chamberlain / eyevine
