With the whole hullabaloo about Bhopal gas tragedy victims not receiving adequate compensation, the central government seems to have taken a stern step by setting aside a large fund for compensation and environmental impact.
who are we kidding? what happened to $400m+ compensation that was paid by Union Carbide? where was the GoM for the last 20 odd years? once again, the media have come to the rescue of the common man. who knows how long it will last, but one thing is for sure- the government doesn't give a damn. instead of taking responsibility- frankly, i don't trust them to pay the victims even this time around- they are trying to pin the blame on Dow Chemical? Dow had nothing to do with the tragedy- it didn't even own Union Carbide at the time.
Let's face it, once again, the victim is the common man but the criminal is not even Union Carbide. it is our own administration who has shafted victims time and time again and stolen public funds for personal gain. why weren't victims compensated 25 years ago? simply because nobody noticed. Union Carbide paid and got out- our civil servants sold us out yet again!
