Union carbide waste unloaded at Pithampur

INDORE: The 337mt of Union Carbide waste that was transported from Bhopal in 12 trucks on Jan 2 this year was unloaded at a disposal facility in Pithampur, MP, on Thursday, five days before a HC hearing.

Dhar district collector Priyank Mishra said offloading followed public consultations for transparency. The containers are now placed in batches of four on the premises of Pithampur Industrial Waste Management Pvt Ltd. Inside the containers, the waste is sealed in leakproof packaging.

The waste from the 1984 gas tragedy was moved from Bhopal amid public protests against the plan to incinerate it in the industrial township, 25km from Indore. MP CM Mohan Yadav said govt would take further action only on court directions.
