<h1>Trial Incineration of 10 Tonnes of Union Carbide Waste Begins Amid Safety Assurances and Protests Over Risks</h1> The second phase of trial incineration of 10 tonnes of waste from the defunct Union Carbide factory in Bhopal has commenced at a disposal plant in Pithampur, Madhya Pradesh. This is part of a court-mandated plan to dispose of 337 tonnes of hazardous waste, following the 1984 industrial disaster. The first phase concluded on March 3, with emissions reportedly within standard limits. Despite protests over potential environmental and health risks, the state government assures that safety measures are in place. The waste includes soil, reactor residue, and pesticide remnants, with no trace of Methyl Isocyanate or radioactive particles.
