Dear Group Members,
Here is the query I have sent to the Indian railways today.


How railways protecting its staff from poisonous Jatropha?

There are scientific research around the world that Jatropha seed oil
causes skin cancer. Our railways is cultivating it in large
scale .Possibly the authorities may be doing some thing to protect
its employees. I am eager to know about this step. Also as our
railways are having able planners. Are they having any report from
health department that Jatropha fumes are safe for human health?

intramolecular diester of 12-deoxy-16-hydroxyphorbol
