In this episode of Environ-mental Breakdown, we dive into two very different, yet equally urgent environmental battles. First, we unpack the long-overdue efforts to clean up the toxic waste still haunting Bhopal, decades after one of the world’s worst industrial disasters. Why has it taken so long, and what does this mean for the people still living with its aftermath?

Then, we shift gears to India’s sacred groves—ancient patches of forest protected by faith, folklore, and now, potentially, the law. With the Supreme Court stepping in, are these ecological treasures finally getting the recognition they deserve, or is bureaucracy about to make things worse?

Toxic messes, legal battles, and a sprinkle of divine intervention—this one has it all!
