The decommissioning of the French warship "Clemenceau" and the dismantling of it arised a lot of controversies around the world. After the countries like Turkey and Greece declined the work of dismantling, the ship now travelling towards Alang port India and eagerly waiting for the decision from the SC. The PIL was filed by the environment lovers claiming that the warship carried over 45 tonnes of Asbestos which will affect the environment. Waiting for the SC decision, though the ship was not allowed to enter India's zone till Feb 13, 2006.
If the SC allows for it to be dismantled in India, it has to make sure that the labours working there should be provided with all kind of preventive measures like gloves, mask which I feel is more important and the wastes are cleared appropriately so that it would disturb the environment.
