Protests in Pithampur over Union Carbide, MP CM calls for caution
MAJOR protests erupted on Friday in the Madhya Pradesh town of Pithampur, a day after the government transported the toxic waste from Bhopal's defunct Union Carbide factory to the treatment-storage-disposal facility (TSDF) in the town for incineration.
