28 years on, no justice for Bhopal gas victims

December 03, 2012 15:48

Bhopal observed the 28th anniversary of the gas disaster today, with various organisations working for the cause of the people affected by it holding rallies while criticising the government for not doing anything for the victims.
Even after 28 years the disaster, no one has been punished for it and the victims given only inadequate compensation, Bhopal Gas Peedit Mahila Udyog Sanghthan convenor Abdul Jabbar said.
On the intervening night of December 2-3, 1984, deadly methyl isocyanate gas leaked from the Union Carbide plant in Bhopal, killing over 3,000 people and injuring lakhs of others in the world's worst industrial disaster.
