Easy to deploy and devastatingly effective, millions of landmines lie in wait around the world. When stepped on, the mine explodes with enough force to rip the legs off of an adult or reduce a
small child to pulp.Handicap International a Lyons-based humanitarian group estimates that between 400,000 and 450, 000 people have been maimed and twice that number have died as a result of the
injuries.A report entitled "HIDDEN KILLER" estimates on-going annual casualties at 7500, mainly civilian, a figure many experts deem conservative "Some people are killed in remote areas and never
found" says Yve Sandoz an official of the International Committee of the Red Cross in Geneva. "No one will ever know how many people suffer from mines or how terrible the depth of that suffering
is". Clearing of mines is thus a great humanitarian job.But, it is most dangerous too. For safe operation it requires a most safety-effective contrivance, and we claim that the Antimine Shoe
developed by SAMAD RUBBER WORKS (Pvt) LTD. is one of the safest in the world for both clearing and crossing mine fields.
