BHARATPUR:

Dholpur city kotwali in-charge Hari Narayan Meena said that police arrested Surendra Tyagi, a 50-year-old senior radiographer working at Mangal Singh Hospital, ward boy Saurabh Jatav, an e-Mitra director Ramraj Kushwaha and a broker Sakur Khan after chief medical and health officer Dr Dharam Singh Meena registered a complaint.

Silicosis is a lung disease that occurs due to prolonged inhalation of silica dust. Rajasthan has high rates of silicosis patients due to the large number of people employed as limestone miners.

"We have traced 106 silicosis certificates, which were falsely prepared," said chief medical and health officer Dr Dharam Singh Meena.
