- The burning of the first 10-tonne batch of Union Carbide’s toxic waste took place recently.
- This is a part of the first trial run to dispose of the 40-year-old waste of Bhopal Gas Tragedy.
- The burning or incineration process takes about 72 hours to complete.
- The process began shortly after the Supreme Court rejected a petition that had challenged the Madhya Pradesh government’s plans to dispose 358 tonnes of Union Carbide waste in Pithampur.
- The chemical waste had been lying at the now-defunct Union Carbide India Ltd (UCIL) factory in Bhopal for more than 40 years since the December 1984 gas tragedy.
