The callousness with which Delhi University disposed off Radio Active Materials need t be condemned. University Professors are people who are supposed to be fully aware of implications of radio active waste. They need to be punished for causing death of a person. Three more people are critically injured and are battling for life. Meanwhile its funny to hear from AERB that they are planning to educate scrap dealers so that they do not buy such material from anyone!! This is putting blame on innocent uneducated people. AERB should educate all institutions including universities, labs, hospitals etc and ensure that all Radio Active sources are taken over by it, if unwanted.
