The radiation threat in Japan is increasing. It is feared that even Tokyo, the capital of Japan may be hit by the nuclear radiation. People are naturally panicky and are starting to move to other places.

At Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station, the situation has become very serious with the explosions in the nuclear plants. Most of the employees and workers have been evacuated. But, it is reported in the media, that still there are 50 workers in the plant who have volunteered to work in the extreme dangerous area braving the nuclear radiation. They continue there to ensure cooling of the plants and to do whatever is possible to stop further spread of the radiation. Whatever respirators, oxygen tanks or full body jump-suits they use for safety, still it is seriously dangerous.

Just like moving to the war front, these workers are prepared to sacrifice themselves for the people of their country. It is always like that. Whether it is any natural calamity, the war front or any other crisis, it is the workers who will be there to defend the country and the people.

We hail these 50 workers who are sacrificing themselves for the people. Let us hope that they will be able to extinguish the radiation and save themselves out of it. (inputs from Hindu dated 17-03-2011)
