NGT Orders Probe into Unscientific E-Waste Disposal and Radiation Risks in Bhopal
The National Green Tribunal (NGT) has raised concerns over the unscientific disposal of e-waste in Madhya Pradesh, particularly in Bhopal, where only about 10% of the 415 tonnes generated annually is processed scientifically. The NGT highlighted risks related to radioactive medical equipment and toxic substances from open burning, ordering a committee with government representatives to investigate and report within four weeks. Notices were issued to local authorities to respond, with further hearings scheduled.
