Bhopal: Madhya Pradesh government on Thursday informed the Jabalpur high court that the toxic waste of the 1984 Bhopal gas tragedy, lying undisposed for over four decades, can be disposed of at the incineration facility in Pithampur in Dhar district in the state in 72 days. The MP government has submitted to the high court the reports of trial disposal of 30 tons of toxic waste, done in three phases in the Pithampur facility, saying that no harm to the environment was noticed during the process, the senior government officer said, unwilling to be quoted.
