Bhopal Gas disaster - Justice Denied

The UCIL factory was established in 1969 near Bhopal. 50.9% was owned by Union Carbide Corporation (UCC) and 49.1% by various Indian investors, including public sector financial institutions.

Several other factors were identified by the inquiry, including the fact that the operators chose a dangerous method of manufacturing pesticides, there was large-scale storage of MIC before processing, the location of the plant was close to a densely populated area, there was under-dimensioning of the safety features, and the plant depended on manual operations.

Deficiencies in the management of UCIL were also identified. There was a lack of skilled operators due to the staffing policy, there had been a reduction of safety management due to reducing the staff, there was insufficient maintenance of the plant and there were only very loose plans for the course of action in the event of an emergency.

On 7 June 2010 seven former employees of the Union Carbide subsidiary, all Indian nationals and many in their 70s, were convicted of causing death by negligence and each sentenced to two years imprisonment and fined Rs.1 lakh.All were released on bail shortly after the verdict

When US President can demand billions of dollars from BP than what stops them to have same justice done over here. The GOM has to provide proper documentation & report to govt / legal to have final justice for all the people of that disaster. The final verdit should be above party politics & justice system. LET`S HOPE N PREY FOR THE BEST IN TIME FRAME MANNER.
