The New Indian Express Dharmapuri
|February 28, 2025
WITH the Supreme Court on Thursday refusing to interfere with the direction of the Madhya Pradesh High Court waste disposal from the Bhopal Gas Tragedy site, the process of conducting a three-phase trial run of the defunct Union Carbide plant's waste in Pithampur of western MP has begun.
Hours after the apex court order on a petition by Indore-based Gandhian activist Chinmay Mishra, challenging the MP High Court directive, the process of disposing of the waste locked in 12 containers started at the treatment-disposal-storage-facility (TSDF) in Pithampur, 250-km from Bhopal.
According to official sources, five of 12 containers containing five different kinds of waste were first unlocked. Samples from the selected containers were mixed together and filled into bags. The incinerator will be heated optimally for around 12 hours, starting late Thursday night.
