Gangnauli, a village in Uttar Pradesh, is facing a dire cancer crisis, with around one-third of its 5,000 residents affected. 
The surge in cancer cases is linked to the Krishna River, heavily polluted with industrial waste from local sugar and paper mills. This contamination has been linked to rising cancer rates and birth defects in the region. India is seeing a dramatic increase in cancer cases, with projections reaching up to 1.6 million new cases this year. Recent government efforts, such as reducing import duties on cancer medicines, aim to address this issue, but access to care remains a significant challenge in rural areas.
How can we effectively support affected communities and push for better environmental and healthcare solutions? Share your ideas and help drive meaningful change!

We need urgent action to clean the Krishna River and provide proper healthcare to Gangnauli. Let's support affected communities, demand stricter environmental regulations, and push for accessible cancer treatment for all.
