Because there is no other work opportunity in the area people continue to work in mines until they become incapable of working. So their exposure doesn’t stop. Secondly, they don’t take nutritious food. When they go to a doctor, he puts them on a strong antibiotic for tuberculosis which puts immense pressure on their body. In the absence of nutritious food the medicines do more harm than good to patients.

It’s very difficult for a doctor to pick up on silicosis by looking at the X-ray result of a patient as it looks very similar to that of a tuberculosis patient... You can claim compensation from your employer if you are diagnosed with silicosis. But there is a legal process to fulfill, and in such cases the doctors could be called into court to give evidence. So it’s far more convenient for the doctor to put the patient on a tuberculosis course and the patient won’t return for another six months.
