On the call of the Pithampur Bachav Samiti, Pithampur Kshetra Raksha Manch, Sanyukt Trade Union Sangharsh Samiti, and others, a Pithampur Bandh will be observed on Friday to oppose the incineration of the toxic waste, emphasizing the need for safer disposal methods to protect the community.

In addition to the BJP and Congress, social and political organizations have joined the protest, and street vendors will also close their businesses in protest. Many factories have also announced their day off.

On Wednesday, the protesters gathered at Maharana Pratap Bus Station after marching through the town, voicing serious concerns about the environmental and health implications of burning the toxic waste in the region. An activist, Sandeep Raghuvanshi, also launched an indefinite hunger strike.
