Appeal to speed up compensation case

Published on: 

The Bhopal gas tragedy survivors have lauded the announcement of the Government regarding construction of a memorial at the Union Carbide factory site. Convener of Bhopal Gas Peedit Mahila Udyog Sangathan (BGPMUS) Abdul Jabbar has expressed gratitude to Sarang and Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan for this. The organisation has further demanded from the State Government prevail upon Centre so that the curative petition on enhanced compensation to the survivors is disposed of early in the Supreme Court. Also arrangements for effective treatment of survivors and disposal of toxic waste on 67 acre Union Carbide campus and 30 acre solar evaporation pond adjacent to it should be done early, it said. Jabbar has expressed the hope that the memorial at Bhopal would be of as serious nature as in Hiroshima, so that it serves as a reminder for the posterity.
