Health Probe Launched into Groundwater Contamination Near Tata iPhone Parts Factory
A health investigation is underway into alleged groundwater contamination from Tata's iPhone parts factory in Hosur, Tamil Nadu, following farmer complaints of skin issues and farmland pollution. The state pollution control board issued a warning to the plant but later dropped scrutiny after Tata's water tests showed no contamination. Health officials continue probing, citing foul odors and unsuitable water for animals. Apple and local authorities have not publicly commented on the matter, highlighting tensions between industrial growth and environmental concerns.
