Authorities in Madhya Pradesh have deployed police forces and installed barricades and wire fencing at a toxic waste disposal site in Pithampur. The move aims to ensure the safe handling and disposal of hazardous materials while preventing unauthorized access. The site has faced resistance from environmental activists and local residents concerned about potential health hazards.
Officials have assured the public that the waste disposal process follows strict environmental guidelines. However, critics argue for greater transparency and community involvement in decision-making processes regarding such sensitive operations.
