Bhopal Gas Tragedy, where more than 40 tons of methyl isocyanate was leaked into the atmosphere due to faulty safety systems of Union Carbide, is still pictured as the worst violation of Right to clean environment and Right to health in our country. The horror that ensued after this leakage is still a nightmare for the citizens of Bhopal. With an estimated figure of around 8.5 lakh people in Bhopal more than 4000 people died on spot and almost half the population suffered temporary or permanent disabilities.
Taking into consideration the large number of victims and to ensure that UCC was held adequately liable, Bhopal Gas Tragedy Act was passed which authorised the government to represent all the victims in any legal proceeding that took place.
The incidents that took place after this, point towards how environment has always taken a lower hand in all of our battles.
