ANTI-TOXIC NUTRIENT TECHNOLOGY IS IN USE IN AUSTRALIA FOR THE PAST 20 YEARS. IT FIGHTS THE POLLUTION IN FOOD AND PURIFIES IT; IT CAN CURB CANCER IN THE MALWA BELT.
BATHINDA: Bathinda- based non- resident Indian ( NRI) and Australian politician Dr Jagvinder Singh Virk wants the Punjab government to explore opportunities for cooperation in business and other fields with foreign countries. He said that Australia is keen to do business with India and he would like Punjab to avail the opportunities opened up due to change in government in India.
Dr Virk visited cancer-hit Jajjal village of Bathinda district on Friday with an Australian delegation of manufacturers of antitoxic nutrient (ATN) products.
Associated with Australian Liberal Party, Dr Virk was appointed chairman of the India- Australia Strate gic Alliance (IASA) after Tony Abbott became Australian prime minister in 2014.
These days, Virk has been DR JAGVINDER SINGH VIRK, Australian politician assisting an Australian delegation, which has been surveying India for the launch of anti-toxic nutrient (ATN) technology to fight cancer in Punjab.
Earlier, Dr Virk played a key role in bringing investment to make silicon carbon tiles (bulletproof jackets) at Bahadurgarh in Haryana. “Like any NRI, I also have concerns for Punjab and worried about the cancer problem in the state. Antitoxic nutrient technology is a Sarbian technology being used in Australia for the last 20 years. It is basically to fight the pollution in food chain and purify it. Use of this technology can curb cancer in the Malwa belt,” said Virk.
He said, “We have also met chief secretaries of Punjab and Haryana in this regard. Negotiations are also on with Bihar and Andhra Pradesh governments for ATN promotion.”
“ATN products are meant for consumption of human beings and animals to fight the pollution within their bodies. I brought manufacturers of ATN products to Punjab so that they can consider introducing it here,” said Virk.
He said, “It is not only ATN technology. There are many other technologies in Austraila which can be used in India and it would make a good business for both countries. There is also need for more interaction between both countries.”
