The bandh in Pithampur city of Madhya Pradesh on Friday, called in protest against the planned incineration of 337 metric tons of the Bhopal gas tragedy waste from the union carbide factory in Bhopal, turned tense, as two men poured some inflammable liquid and set themselves afire.
Police and rescue workers rushed the two persons, both aged around 40 years, to a hospital at Pithampur. Later, they were sent to a private hospital at nearby Indore, some 30 km away. Authorities said both men remained hospitalized but they were out of danger.
