Prayagraj / Port Blair, Dec. 13: Former President of India, Shri Ram Nath Kovind has expressed serious concern over spreading of micron size plastic particles which are destroying the lives of creatures, plants and humans. Referring to the findings by internationally acclaimed scientist Padmashree Dr. Ajai Kmar Sonkar, the Former President on Dec. 11, 2023 in a formal message wrote:

“This morning I met Padmashree awarded internationally renowned scientist Dr. Ajai Kumar Sonkar, he gave me detailed information about his recent research and studies, and also presented me copies of his scientific discoveries published in various international science reports. I have witnessed Dr. Ajai’s significant cientific achievements since 2004”.

“In 2004, I had the opportunity to visit and observe the techniques of making precious pearls in his laboratory in Andaman. I have been impressed by his scientific ability”.

“Today he told me that how micron size plastic particles have spread everywhere which are destroying the lives of all creatures and plants including humans on earth. How the plastic waste that man had thrown away after cleaning his house has rturned to his home in Dinner plates and drinks. This situation is scary that the microscopic particles of plastic fly into the clouds by vaporization and after raining, they are causing diseases to the entire earth. Our remote forest wealth, glaciers, water sources, everything has reached the brink of destruction”.

“Dr. Ajai told me that during the microscopic examination of the mantle tissue of the marine oyster brought from Andaman to his cell biology laboratory in Prayagraj, he saw micron size plastic particles which had reached the tissue from its blood.

“His study has attracted the attention of the world, many international science magazines have appreciated and published his research works. It is my heartfelt wish that humanity should benefit from his studies and discoveries; people should adopt scientific approach and stop the destruction of the earth at their own hands”, added the Former President.

Dr. Ajai Sonkar has been working in the Andaman & Nicobar Islands since 2004. He is the first scientist who created Black Pearl in his small lab in North Bay of A&N Islands. His recent findings on micron size plastic returning to our dinner plates has sent an alarm across the globe, forcing the world to take immediate steps to lessen the scope of man-made disaster in future.
