Bhopal gas verdict comes as a complete mockery of the system, the tragedy and the victims. On 3rd December 1984, under the shelter of midnight’s darkness, the deadly methyl isocyanate leaked from the Union Carbide factory in the heart of Bhopal, immediately killing and maiming 2,000 people and injuring 300,000 out of the then 800,000 people of Bhopal.
There was no warning; none of the plant’s safety systems were working. The people of Bhopal woke amidst the harrowing darkness and to the soulful sound of screeching screams and with the gases burning their eyes, noses and mouths. They began retching and coughing up lather streaked with blood. The whole neighborhood fled in horror, some were crushed, and others convulsed and fell dead. People lost control of their intestines and bladders as they ran. And within hours thousands of dead bodies lay in the streets; inviting the crows and vultures but alas they too, had fallen prey to the killer gas.Today the toll has risen to more than 25,000 deaths, and 1,20,000 injured and after 26 years of its unfaithful wait – the Bhopal tragedy has once again been fobbed off in the hands of its own greedy protector – who sold its dead as cheap as $450 million dollars.
It is even released by green peace website that they had informed the CBI about the whereabouts of Warren Anderson (chairman of union carbide) on 2002. Why did they neglect it...??
JUSTICE IS NOT ONLY DELAYED BUT ALSO DENIED.....!!!
