With over six lakh people succumbing to cancer and more than ten lakh new cases are reported in the country, the government today said air pollution and unhealthy lifestyles are among the major risk factors for the disease.
"As reported by World Health Organisation (WHO), more than 1 million new cases are reported in India while about 6.8 lakh people die due to cancer in India," Minister of State for Health Anupriya Patel said in a written reply in the Rajya Sabha.
She said the Ministry of Petroleum has also initiated a scheme to provide free LPG connection to women belonging to BPL households under 'Pradhan Mantri Ujjwala Yojna' to reduce air pollution.
