No media outlet or politician seems willing to talk about this but we must. This could be one of the most serious environmental and public health issues in Punjab.
This video, sent to me on 2 September 2026, is from the HPCL & HMEL refinery near Kanakwal village, Bathinda which produces petroleum fuels and petrochemicals.
According to local residents, Kanakwal village alone has more than 50 cancer patients, and skin diseases are reportedly affecting many children. Residents even say that at night, the flames and gas emissions are so intense that it feels like daytime.
Thousands of people living nearby believe the refinery is violating pollution norms and that harmful emissions are being released without adequate monitoring or accountability.
Please repost and share this so it reaches the higher authorities. Sometimes public attention is the only way to ensure an issue is properly investigated! Atleast for humanity sake!

Punitive measures without fact-based solutions will further push Punjab’s administrative machinery into a state of severe crisis. Coercion is not governance.

Man: O Imam Ali, who is the strongest: the one who takes revenge or the one who forgives and forgets?
Imam Ali: Are you able to take revenge?
Man: Yes, I am.
Imam Ali smiled: Then forgive.
Love is the one thing we’re capable of perceiving that transcends dimensions of time and space.
Universe’s greatest force is not gravity, It’s Love…

Iran just bombed an Israeli hospital. Tragic no doubt. There are sure to be cries of war crimes and red lines having been crossed. Agreed, totally unacceptable.
To which I ask, why was this OK

UN, G7, G20, BRICS, SAARC, BIMSTEC, G this, G that…. They all are important from leaders’ milna julna, chai-party and UPSC rattafication perspective… The world works the way USA wants it to work

2. Be ready to sacrifice things for a greater good.
3. While food traditions vary , the true essence lies in charity and equality.
4. Trust the journey and keep going.
