BHOPAL GAS TRAGEDY

Unresilient Bhopal -The Tale of a Town Deceived by the state

23 Years have passed since the world's worst industrial disaster occurred in this North Indian city on the night of December 3, 1984. Bhopal continues to experience the trauma of that mishap with a chemical waste dump in the Union Carbide factory compound over a couple of decades ago contaminating air and water in the city. The debate and dispute over who should bear the cost of cleaning up the area, which runs into millions of dollars, still goes on.
