THE UNCUT INDIA: The same procedure but two people doing. It is called in local language ADDA POGA Adda means in reverse ,Poga means literally smoke (fumes) It is more common in women than in men. It is more common among the tribal people than in ordinary residential population. It is the primary cause for ORAL CANCERS AMONG THE TRIBAL PEOPLE. Once they have this cancer, they know their fate, they know what is coming, they dont seek medical advice and quietly die. T.H.I.S Tribal Healthcare In Salur is trying to break that pattern and they have a pathway now to go to specialized cancer centre, where they can get free medical care. But the problem is THEY DO NOT HAVE MONEY FOR TRANSPORT TO REACH THE CANCER CENTRE AND THE MEANS FOR RELATIVES TO STAY WITH THEM. Hence they choose to die quietly.
