Carbide waste disposal: MP CM urges Pithampur public to present its stand in court
Monday, 6 January 2025 Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Mohan Yadav encouraged people of Pithampur to present their case in court regarding Union Carbide waste disposal after the MP High Court gave six weeks to the state government to act as per safety guidelines. Protests erupted in Pithampur against the planned waste incineration, citing potential environmental and health hazards.
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.
