News India Live, Digital Desk: The ‘Deadly’ Secret of Nanda Devi: Do you know that a dangerous secret related to the secret ‘espionage operation’ of America is still hidden on the Nanda Devi mountain of India? We are talking about a plutonium capsule that has been missing somewhere in the lap of the Himalayas for decades. This story started with an attempt to monitor China and became a possible environment and health threat to India.
When CIA created ‘Gupta’ game in the Himalayas:
In 1965, the US intelligence agency CIA (Central Intelligence Agency) carried out a highly secret operation in collaboration with India’s intelligence agency Intelligence Bureau (IB). The aim was to monitor China’s nuclear tests and missile activities. For this, he planned to set up a ‘remote sensing data collection unit’ on the top of Nanda Devi Parvat. The device ran through nuclear power, and it had seven capsules of radioactive substance ‘plutonium’, which could give energy to the equipment for years.
That dangerous accident on Nanda Devi:
Everything did not work according to the plan. The challenge of extremely height and odd weather disturbed the team members. The team had to leave its base camp in a hurry due to a sudden terrible icy storm with the glaciers of Nanda Devi. They had to leave this data collection unit (which had plutonium capsules) at the same place, thinking that they would take it out later.
However, when the team came back to bringing the device back in 1966 next year, they could not find it anywhere. The entire device, which had seven capsules of malignant plutonium, was lost somewhere in snow and glaciers. Since then till date, despite tireless search operations, this dangerous plutonium capsule was never found.
‘Nuclear threat’ hovering millions of Indians?
Today more than 50 years have passed, but this lost plutonium capsule still remains a matter of concern. Experts believe that it can gradually be found in the Ganges river system. Plutonium is a highly poisonous and radioactive substance. If it is found in the Ganges, it can have disastrous consequences. This will cause water pollution, affect the health of millions of people, and may increase the risk of deadly diseases like cancer. The water of the Ganges river originating from this holy place of Uttarakhand is used by a large population of North India, which makes this danger more serious.
This mysterious and dangerous plutonium capsules still remain a time bomb hidden in the womb of the Himalayas, which no one has a solution.
