Amnesty asks Modi govt to take up Bhopal gas tragedy with Obama

December 01, 2014 11:06

Amnesty International called for urgent steps to provide adequate compensation to the victims of the 1984 Bhopal gas tragedy and bring the Union Carbide and Dow Chemical to book."Thirty years is more than enough to wait. They can't wait any longer, can't wait for compensation, health care and clean water, can't wait for clean-up, can't wait for the perpetrators of corporate crimes to be brought to justice,' said Salil Shetty, global head of the organisation. Shetty regretted that not a single American employee who was on top of the chain of command had so far been brought to justice and said India should raise the matter with the US government.
