After 26 years of Bhopal gas tragedy......what's next?

Mockery of Judiciary....After causing death to thousands & making lakhs to suffer for life, our judiciary found few people guilty of negligence. It took us more than two decades and I am sure, it will continue for another two decades of 'apeal to higher court', 'stay order', 'reopen', 'reinvestigate'.........before putting the case under the carpet. By this time we can conclude - if you do not belong to a political family or from an elite english-speaking class, your life is worth few thousands (if you are lucky, the figure may go to few lakhs!!) of rupees.

Note that Mr Anderson, the then Chairman of UC, could never be made appear the trial. No wonder,we never dare to make big-bro unhappy.

Our citizens can not overcome the hurdles of Constitution ....why not give a padmashree to the ex-chairman Anderson & his team ? Mr PM can offer this in his next visit to US.

See this link on US double standard ...but I believe, the way Union Carbide case has handled is more of India's leadership failure - contrast to what BP is made to.

Its a sad story. The big corporates rule the Judiciary. Our land has been poisoned by the giant corporates but no one cares as long as the pockets of the politicians are filled.
