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.
