When Water Kills: The Arsenic Crisis in Eastern Uttar Pradesh

For two decades, a public-health nightmare has been burgeoning in the Ballia district of #UttarPradesh, in the form of arsenic contamination of the groundwater.

With no meaningful help from successive governments, residents of the impoverished region can but helplessly narrate their cases, the apathy and the negligence.
