Hazards of ship breaking in Gujarat

The ship-breaking industry in Gujarat operates in the bleakest of safety facilities, poisonous waste from all over the world is dumped here. The problem was identified only after GreenPeace made noises about it. Sometime back, the Gujarat government refused to allow the 'Rainbow Warrior', the GreenPeace ship with the message of environmental justice, to anchor in Gujarat. The Supreme Court's intervention asking a ship illegally brought in for the purpose to return is timely.
