Pithampur on Warpath
The New Indian Express Mysuru
|January 04, 2025
Shifting toxic waste out of Bhopal's ill-fated Union Carbide plant after four decades through a judicial fiat without public hearing has upset residents of Pithampur and Indore, as they fear its incineration could adversely affect their water bodies
Forty years after a late-night leak of noxious methyl isocyanate (MIC) gas at the Union Carbide India Limited's (UCIL) pesticide plant killed over 5,500 people in its vicinity in Bhopal and cast its adverse shadow on successive generations, its toxic waste was finally shifted out of Bhopal on January 1. Twelve specially designed, sealed, leak-proof, fire-resistant and GPS tracking-enabled containers, carrying 358 metric tonnes of toxic waste were escorted by police and emergency vehicles through a 250-km Green Corridor to the industrial town of Pithampur in Dhar district of western MP, around 30 km from India's cleanest and the state's most populated city, Indore.
