The September 22 order came after the Maharashtra Pollution Control Board (MPCB), in its submission, said that it was not in a position to prepare such an assessment or to predict the impact of burning the toxic waste. This job should be done by a competent Central government authority.
In an earlier submission, MPCB had said that the Defence Research and Development Establishment facility at Nagpur was not fit for the job of incinerating the waste, and that it was non-functional.
