One of the injured persons, Rajkumar Raghuvanshi told ANI, “I have done this against the toxic waste brought here.” The crowd were staging the protest for their demand to send back the containers carrying the hazardous waste from Pithampur. I appeal to the people to maintain peace and cooperate with the administration.” Earlier, among the protesters, a social worker Sandeep Raghuvanshi demanded that they had only one request from the state government that the containers of the toxic waste should be sent back from Pithampur.
