India, June 5 -- The Supreme Court on Wednesday refused to grant an urgent hearing against an order passed by the Madhya Pradesh high court directing incineration of the toxic chemical waste from the Bhopal gas tragedy site at Pithampur in MP's Dhar district, observing that a long time has already elapsed "fighting" to dispose the waste and the same is being done under supervision of experts.The court was dealing with an urgent plea mentioning made by an activist challenging a high court order giving 72 days for the state government to incinerate the chemical waste. The bench said, "For how many years, we are fighting to get this waste removed but for... these so-called NGOs and social activists." htc
