00:00Today, some intervenors tried to raise the fact that toxic waste is in a very large quantity.
00:11But the previous order of the High Court, in which the High Court had divided it into three stages.
00:18In the first stage, the toxic waste that was lying open and loose, had to be brought and destroyed in Pitampura, incinerated.
00:26In the second stage, the Bhopal Gas Factory had to be dismantled and cleaned.
00:32And in the third stage, the toxic waste buried in the 87-acre plot of the Bhopal Gas Factory had to be neutralized.
00:44Right now, the process is going on in the first stage, in which the toxic waste that was available at that time,
00:54which had been lying there for many years, is being taken to Pitampura under the direction of the High Court,
00:59incinerated and destroyed.
01:01Right now, no action has been taken in the second and third stages, which will start after the first stage.
01:07Sir, this means that the government has been given permission to follow the three-stage compliance.
01:14To follow it.
01:15To follow it.
01:16Meaning, to dispose of the waste.
01:18Left it to the government.
01:19Yes, the government can do it. If the government wants, it can dispose of the waste.
