Posted Tue Jul 1 2008: from Central Chronicle (India):
40 metric tons of toxic waste removed from Bhopal Union Carbide plant http://apocadocs.com/s.pl?1214945796
"About 40 metric ton chemical waste and clay (lime sludge) was transported from Union Carbide Plant premises on June 27 to Pithampur. The work was executed under the eyes of experts and officials", said JT Ekka, Director, Gas Disaster & Relief Department on Tuesday.... Since the [Bhopal gas] tragedy, many NGOs ... have urged the State and Union Government to fulfil the demands of survivors [for] clean water in the gas-affected localities, and health care to the victims of gas tragedy. Now the [NGOs] have begun questioning the State Government over the removal of toxic waste and its disposal in Pithampur. "The entire dumping operation was carried under the cover of darkness. It's a big question that in what manner hazardous toxic waste was removed, transported and disposed in Pithampur plant", said Abdul Jabbar, convenor Bhopal Gas Peedit Mahila Udyog Sangathan (BGPMUS).
