Visakhapatnam, May 19: Noted lawyer and environmentalist, Mr S. Niroop, has suggested that an epidemiology test should be conducted in the city to test the intensity of the pollution that has been affecting the people. The test is conducted by the World Health Organisation on the request of the state government. Mr Niroop was speaking at a meeting, Suraksha, a time-bound action plan to prevent pollution in the city, organised by Uttarandhra Rakshana Vedika, here on Wednesday. The lawyer, who shot into fame by getting compensation to the victims at Patancheru, said the quality of life was more important than the standard of life.
