Bhopal's toxic legacy, tied to the 1984 industrial disaster, has haunted the city for decades. The hazardous waste, stored for years at the Union Carbide factory, is now being moved for safe disposal to Pithampur. This long-awaited step raises important questions about accountability, transparency, and the safety of residents in Pithampur, where a specialized facility will neutralize the toxins. However, scrutiny remains over the government's delayed action and the risks involved in the process.

The Bhopal Gas Tragedy, often referred to as the world's worst industrial disaster, unfolded in the early hours of December 3, 1984. A pesticide factory owned by the American Union Carbide Corporation leaked methyl isocyanate gas, exposing over half a million people in Bhopal to deadly toxins. The immediate aftermath was catastrophic, with 5,474 deaths officially recorded and countless others maimed for life. Even decades later, survivors continue to suffer from chronic health issues, while the toxic legacy of the disaster lingers in the soil and water of the affected areas.
