Anushasan is a Hindi novel written by author Subhash Verma[1], inspired by the Mayapuri radiological incident that occurred in Delhi in 2010. The novel blends elements of historical fiction with a narrative grounded in real-life events, exploring the human impact of the radiation leak. This incident took place in the Mayapuri[2] scrap market, one of Asia’s largest, where dismantling activities led to the exposure of radioactive Cobalt-60, resulting in one death and several cases of severe radiation sickness.
Background of the Mayapuri Incident
editThe Mayapuri radiation incident was a significant environmental disaster that highlighted serious lapses in the management of radioactive materials in India. On April 8, 2010, a heavy machine containing Cobalt-60 was dismantled in the Mayapuri area. This radioactive substance, originally from a Delhi University lab, inadvertently ended up in the scrap market. Exposure to Cobalt-60 led to the death of one person and hospitalization of several others, prompting fears and public outcry over radiation safety.[3] [4]
Synopsis of the Novel
edit"Anushasan[5]" delves into the tragic ramifications of the incident through a fictional lens. The protagonist, a university student, along with his friend Richa, undertakes an investigation into the mysterious circumstances of the radiation leak. The narrative captures the socio-economic backdrop of the Mayapuri scrap market, shedding light on the lives of workers and the negligence that led to the disaster. It also weaves a subplot of an unseen love story, enriching the emotional depth of the novel.
Themes and Reception

It has been praised for its vivid storytelling and the ability to bring to life a critical issue that shook Delhi's residents. Through his writing, Subhash Verma provides a critique of systemic failures while also touching upon the resilience of those affected.[6]
