After four decades, authorities in India have successfully removed around 337 tonnes of toxic waste from the Union Carbide factory in Bhopal, site of one of the deadliest industrial disasters in 1984. The waste, including hazardous materials and pesticide residue, is being transported to an incineration facility 230km away. This move follows a court-imposed deadline to address the ongoing health hazards posed by the contamination in surrounding areas. However, local activists express concerns about the disposal process and its potential environmental impact.
