Introduction: The Surge of Radiation Leak Rumors:-
Nuclear radiation spread in Pakistan during the India-Pakistan war ? Did India really target Pakistan’s nuclear sites? Were nuclear weapons damaged in secret tunnels in Pakistan’s Kirana Hills ? Due to which radiation occurred? Are the reports coming out about vomiting and headaches among the people of Pakistan true? Is Pakistan’s army and government hiding the news of the Radiation League? Has an American plane landed in Pakistan to control radiation? And if radiation has spread in Pakistan, then are the border areas of India also not free from the danger of radiation? For the last few days, social media is filled with news of nuclear radiation in Pakistan. Every person is discussing this matter. Many claims are being made. Like it is being claimed that India’s Operation Sindoor action damaged Pakistan’s nuclear areas and again there was radiation from there. The result of which was that people started falling ill. Then it was said that due to this reason the ceasefire was imposed. For this reason America immediately took control. American planes arrived in Pakistan to investigate the radiation. Arrived to control radiation. Now because neither the Indian Government, nor the Pakistani Government, nor the US said anything about radiation. There were no questions asked in the press conference that took place. In such a situation, this discussion became very intense. Many claims were made on social media. For example, a card came regarding the Government of Pakistan in which it was said that Pakistan is struggling with radiation.
Understanding Kirana Hills: A Strategic Nuclear Site:-
American planes have been seen in Pakistan. This is true news. In such a situation, has radiation really occurred and in the press conference held by India, it was also said by the Indian Air Force that we have attacked Kirana Hill. So that sarcastic smile raised more doubts about whether this would happen, because the Prime Minister of India reached there from his airbase, but many people are saying about the Prime Minister of Pakistan that can he reach there without wearing a mask? You ca n’t go there because there is radiation.
And because of all these things, every person in Pakistan started becoming aware of the nuclear radiation, whether this has really happened and if it has happened, then how big can it be? Can it have an impact on India ? There are many questions. And now about you what is Kirana Hills? Because it is very important to understand this. So Kirana Hills is called Black Mountain.
There is a hill or rather a series of hills in Sargotha district of Punjab, Pakistan, where many mysteries have been buried for a long time. It is considered a very important part of Pakistan’s nuclear program. In the 1980s, Pakistan built a network of secret tunnel bunkers here and it is believed that this is where Pakistan’s nuclear weapons are stored. Cold tests were also conducted here from 1983 to 1990. That is, testing of weapons without nuclear explosion. Many experts also believe that the caves of Kirana Hills are hundreds of feet deep in the ground. In such a situation, this place is perfect for keeping nuclear weapons safe. This entire area is called Area 51 in Pakistan. It simply means that no person from outside can reach there. A movie called Mission Majnu was also released, it also mentions these areas. Now the question is why is it so sensitive? So you can understand the sensitivity yourself from nuclear weapons. India is also repeatedly saying that now you cannot blackmail through nuclear weapons. So where are the nuclear weapons? Wherever it is, it will be sensitive and that is why this area is very sensitive. Its information is very sensitive and no one can go here. Now the question is, did India cause any damage to this area ? Well Operation Sindoor was conducted by India.
Operation Sindoor: India’s Military Response:-
In order to respond to what had happened on the 22nd in Pahalgam, on the 9th and 10th of May, India had attacked several areas of Pakistan at night, which included the Nurkhan airbase, Rawalpindi, Sargodha airbase, the area we are referring to above, apart from this there were several other areas, Supur and Rahim Yar Khan airports, Bahawalpur, Muzaffarabad, and amongst all these things, Kirana Hills is important. Now the question is: was there an attack on Kirana Hills ? It was not told by the Indian Government or the Indian Air Force. But when this topic was being discussed in the press conference of India’s DGMO Director General of Military Operations, he gave a smile. Well, we attacked there. Ok. Pakistan’s nuclear weapons are there. Friend, people are considering it as an unsaid message.
The Radiation Leak Allegations: Unverified Claims:-
Many claims were made regarding the same. In a way, it was considered as an approval that India attacked the entry of the tunnels of Kirana Hills and it was a strong message that we know where your nuclear weapons are? And this is where radiation comes into play. Now the question is what is the radiation? What is the reality of radiation leak? Has this really happened? Why did it come like this? This happened because an official document regarding Pakistan went viral on social media. Now in this document, it is claimed that radiation has leaked from Kirana Hill due to which the citizens of Pakistan have suffered from various symptoms like vomiting, tiredness, headache, fever etc and it is going viral on social media. However, when we verified and fact checked it, we noticed some things which show that the story is different. Like, the word confidential is written wrongly in it. Yes, it says confidential. Northern is written instead of Northern. The time given is 24:55. If there are 24 hours, friend, then how will 24 hours become 55 minutes?
Fact-Checking the Alleged Radiation Leak Document:-
So three or four things are written wrongly in it. Apart from this, this letter was issued in the name of National Radiological Safety Division NSRD. Whereas when we enquired in Pakistan, there is no NSRD. There ‘s PARA over there. Apart from this, the person whose name is mentioned in it is also not in Pakistan. So overall, because no one in the government of Pakistan confirmed this and if radiation had spread, many organizations would have become active. So this document is fake because if this document was true then its language would not have been like this. Any one is fine, the English in Pakistan is Mashallah. But still the government documents are not printed in such a dirty manner. This was published in a light-hearted manner. The time was wrong. Then this is considered wrong because there is no such organization. But the big question is what would happen if there was a radiation leak ? If there is radiation leak, then don’t measure it, let’s just spray so that this does not happen. Because if radiation leaks, then the people immediately nearby who get affected by it will face problems like vomiting, unconsciousness, skin burns, headache or organ failure.
The Role of U.S. Aircraft: Monitoring or Intervening?:-
Many people would have died within one or two days. After a few months, most people suffer from anemia, immune system damage, wounds in the body that do not heal, and in the long term, cancer, thyroid, blood drain etc. People with congenital disabilities become infertile in the coming generations. Wherever this happens, the soil, water and air would be destroyed and this has happened. It happened in Chernobyl. In 1986 the entire population had to be shifted there. It happened in Fukushima. Even after 10 years people did not return. Hirashima, Nagasaki where the bomb was dropped. There was thyroid, cancer and leukemia disease there for generations. The survivors passed on the diseases to their next generations, and the effects of radiation are still visible today. So maybe nothing happened. If something had happened the world would have reacted differently. For example, if there was even a little radiation from the IAEA, International Atomic Energy Agency, a team would have been sent immediately.
Public Health Concerns: Are People Falling Ill?:-
WHO World Health Organization would probably have declared an emergency in Pakistan by now. Medical staff and treatment equipment would be deployed. Monitoring would be done through media and satellite. Every country in the world would cover it. Radiation detection platforms like Flight Radar 24 can spot aircraft movements. In fact, India would also have been ready. The people living on the border were shifted from there. People were advised to remain indoors. Water storage warning is given. Was wearing a mask. But nothing like that has happened. So we are assuming that this would not have happened. Radiation might not have leaked in Pakistan. America has been keeping an eye on Pakistan’s nuclear weapons bases for a long time and many experts believe that Pakistan is always up to mischief. America also fears that if its nuclear weapons are misplaced, they may fall into the hands of terrorist organizations, which may cause harm to America through Pakistan. Perhaps this might be due to caution. But it happened because of a radiation leak. It’s not like that. So there is no evidence that Pakistan is hiding anything. Pakistan has rejected the attack on nuclear sites. If it had been leaked then perhaps India or an international organization would have caught it. Now the question is, are people getting sick? As is being claimed on social media.
The Absence of Radiation Detection Measures:-
But is this because of radiation? There is no proof of this. Does India need to be afraid? A no. There is no such evidence till now. There has been radiation in Pakistan. The first fear will be inside Pakistan. If no such official news is coming from there, then there is no need for India to be afraid. Yes, if something like this had happened a radiation alert would probably have been issued. The borders would have been secured. And if something like this happens in the future, India has ways to deal with it. So in simple words, the presence of planes probably fueled the talk of nuclear radiation. But there is no evidence of the Nuclear Radiation League.
Conclusion: Distinguishing Fact from Fiction:-
The news about Kirana Hills and Radiation League are mostly social media rumours and whenever two countries fight a war, 70% of the news comes out through rumours only. In such a situation, you need to be careful and you need to understand who you are listening to. Who are you reading? This is very important. If you are listening to anyone, reading anyone, then such news will spread widely in the market. At present this news has given a lot of fuel to the tension between India and Pakistan. There were many discussions. But now you can tell people that this news is fake because no organization from India, Pakistan or any international organization has confirmed the radiation leak yet.
