Where angels fear to treat?Bhopal gas tragedy revisted..

Its been 25 years. The Union Carbide disaster in Bhopal, Bhopal disaster or Bhopal gas tragedy claimed at least 40,000 lives in a matter of days, while 390 tonnes of toxic chemical still lies abandoned at the plant.

Every year on December 3,we piously rememer those dead, while the families of the victims still fight for justice. The newspapers and tv channels come-out with stories are stories blaming the government, Union Carbide and who-else not...

There are civil and criminal cases pending in United States(Manhattan) and even in Indian courts.Justice but being ever done to those-affected people is a high improbability.

This excerpt from an article by Indra Sinha in HT, presents a quintessential picture what Bhopal is today:

"Bhopal is not a normal place. It is deeply, intimately, poisoned. Twenty-five years after the catastrophic gas disaster, Union Carbide’s toxins still flow in the soil, in the water, in the wells, in people’s blood, in wombs and breast milk and in the hearts of local politicians. Go and see for yourself. Once you’ve arrived in Bhopal, take an auto-rickshaw to any one of Annu Nagar, Blue Moon Colony, Nawab Colony, Atal-Ayub Nagar, Oriya Basti, Garib Nagar, Kainchi Chola. You’ll soon notice that an awful lot of children seem in some way damaged."
