MP CM Urges 'No Politics', Assures Safe Disposal of Union Carbide Factory Waste

He assured that the incineration process will be conducted under the guidance of scientists and will not pose any harm to the environment.

Addressing a press briefing here, CM Yadav said that the disposal of the waste is being conducted under the Supreme Court directives with continuous monitoring to ensure public welfare and environmental safety.

He said scientific studies have been carried out and a safe technology will be used in the incineration process.

The CM explained that 40 years after the tragedy, the harmful effects of the 337 metric tons of waste stored in Bhopal have significantly diminished. "Over 60% of the waste is local soil, while the rest includes 7-naphthol, reactor residues, and semi-processed pesticides waste, whose toxicity experts believe fades within 25 years," he added.
