New Delhi. A big news has come from Lucknow, the capital of Uttar Pradesh. Radioactive material has leaked from cancer medicine at Chaudhary Charan Singh Airport, due to which two employees of the cargo department fell unconscious. After this, there was a stir at the airport. Currently, Terminal 3 has been evacuated and due to the possibility of radiation from the radioactive material, the surrounding area of 1.5 kilometers is also being evacuated.
Giving information about this incident, the airport spokesperson said that cancer medicine was being sent from Terminal 3 to a flight going from Lucknow to Guwahati. When the luggage was being checked with the luggage scanner, the scanner started beeping. After this, the box of cancer medicine was opened. As soon as the box was opened, radioactive material leaked from it and two cargo employees present on the spot fell unconscious. There was a commotion at the airport after the information of radioactive material leaking. Terminal 3 of the airport has been evacuated in a hurry. At present, efforts are being made to find out whether this is a radioactive material or something else and if it is a radioactive material, how dangerous can its effect be.
Teams of NDRF, SDRF, IB, CISF have reached the spot and investigation is going on. Let us tell you that radiotherapy is also used to destroy complex cells in the treatment of cancer. In this, radio rays are put on cancer cells which eliminates their effect. Radioactive substances emit alpha, beta and gamma rays. Coming in contact with radioactive substances harms the human body, that is why it is used very carefully during cancer treatment.
