Gas organizations warn of going to SC
On December 2, organizations associated with gas victims will take out a candle march in Bhopal.
Regarding this, they told the outline of the program and also warned of going to the Supreme Court if the hospitals of gas victims are merged with the health department. They also thanked the director-producer and actors for the movie 'The Railwayman' made on the recent Bhopal gas tragedy.
Rachana Dhingra of Bhopal Group for Information and Action said that information has been received about the process of closing the department established by the state government for the welfare of the Bhopal victims. It is proposed to hand over 5 hospitals and 9 dispensaries run by the Gas Relief Department to the Health and Family Welfare, Medical Education Department. If this happens then we will not step back from taking to the streets. At the same time, we will also go to the Supreme Court, Rachana said.
Rashida B expresses happiness
President of Bhopal Gas Victims Destitute Pensioners Sangharsh Morcha, Balkrishna Namdev said that Union Carbide has been absconding for the last 31 years and now the owner of the fugitive company, Dow Chemical, has been summoned in a criminal case on the accident due to our efforts.
Rashida B, President of Bhopal Gas Victims Women Stationery Employees Union, said that we are happy that just before the 39th anniversary, we have been successful in presenting the representative of The Dow Chemical Company USA in the Bhopal District Court.
Rashida said this company, being the owner of Union Carbide, is responsible for its criminal responsibilities and has appeared for the first time in a criminal case. It is now up to the prosecution's Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) to ensure that Dow gets the harshest possible punishment for his crimes in Bhopal.
