NGO protests disposal of Carbide plant toxic waste to Nagpur
The Union Carbide plant is lying defunct since the infamous Gas Tragedy that struck Bhopal on the intervening nights of December 2-3, 1984, following leakage of deadly methyl isocyanate gas that claimed thousands of lives and maimed lakhs of others. The NGO claimed, which is also a fact that the huge amount of toxic waste lying in the defunct factory has contaminated the ground water source in the areas located around the plant. Earlier too, a similar decision taken by the concerned authorities to dispose of the toxic waste at Ankleshwar in Gujarat and at Pithampur in Madhya Pradesh was also withdrawn following strong protest from people at both the places.
