Four years after the radiation leak of cobalt 60 at the Mayapuri scrap yard, there is no way yet to detect radiation in the waste market.
Last year, National Green Tribunal had directed the ministry of environment and forests to install scanners at the gates of the market. But that proposition seemed expensive, so MoEF decided that scrap handlers should keep handheld radiation detectors. But even these have not been procured.
