december third one thousand nine hundred eighty four the night we can never forget . when the leakage of am i see gas from this union carbide factory made people sleep forever. those who are no more today the people they use. those mothers and sisters who were sleeping bad night in their homes at. the gas leakage from the union carbide made them sleep forever. anderson go to hell union carbide go to hell.

for so many years who's been drinking poisonous water even today the water is still poisonous and all of our children are sick. the entire community split up with

a problem that is why we will keep fighting until they are granted all demands to find to continue. inoculated for a gas leak from a union carbide corp factory in bhopal killed up to twenty five thousand people it was one of the world's worst industrial accidents more than thirty thousand people are believed to have died from the effects of toxic chemicals released into the air from this factory the union carbide plant in the central indian city a book. on up on the contaminated water is making our lives how they're going to get even that . all those of tons of stuff that we just live better if it is three forty six tons of waste that if that warehouse additives of thousands of tons of waste on the

surface of the factory provides. this. it was the plant that was responsible for causing the world's worst industrial disaster and now it had been abandoned in a condition where it had become a source of pollution or the most recent study that was done shows that this water pollution is spreading more than three and a half thousand died in the immediate aftermath of the disaster after inhaling the fuse thousands more which it perishes toxin seeps into the ground around the plant poisoning water supplies. but it is being twenty seven years and there is still no proper or secure detox for cation or treatment of the soil and the neutralization of the chemical toxic waste is still not being done. yet the government gas relief minister bubble is claiming there are no more sick

people and that the factory is clean and that one hundred percent of the people are drinking one hundred percent pure water these are complete lies groups working with affected children see that children today are ten times more likely to be born with birth defects in children in the rest of the country. you know. there are kids being born like this there are many kids like this in my own area there are many kids like this. by refusing to be poisoned in their water and soil. pollution is committing crimes crimes on a large number of people. respiratory problems heart problems i problems. the

ratio of patients are increasing by the day. people are suffering the. there are people dying and the next generation is getting affected the horrific condemned to malformations they're born with so the fact that the suffering hasn't ended and that injustice continues and the individuals in agencies responsible for these. mass disasters remain unpunished.

here's a. cruise liner of union carbide through. a layer of paper a layer of oil and it would still be hot. if you don't think there's. a birdie.

in god made gone petition is this american drones national that was involved in the war was. in the midst of what's called the green revolution. decided the best to save manufacturing you need. this started in the war seventies and the formulation just mixing different bits to say. back in degraded reduction of methods of same. and they knew right in seventy two there'd be method as without a plan they were building in what would be untested technology in their own words and that its safety was not known.

fifty thousand injured have been counted but up to two hundred thousand may be affected in the long term cerebral palsy has begun to effect the survivors the doctors hardly know how to relieve the suffering they're not sure exactly what it was in the lethal cocktail of gases so it's difficult to prescribe effective at certain work for a funeral pyres is becoming scarce so fifty bodies are being burnt at a time in mass cremations. if there are many chemicals found in the water around here which were once used in the union carbide factory. every time it rains the toxic waste which is lying on the surface of the factory goes deep inside the earth and pollutes the soil. pretty good here because surface which is contaminated and the chemicals which are in the

earth needs to be removed and talks of faced up to very good here otherwise the pollution will continue and people will keep using polluted water and that is very dangerous and mark. thank. you. i'm not alone my name is salam bubble but people call me brother salome and. two i have a small business where you know if we are daily wage earners. but

i have no savings here walkway whatever does get saved is spent on medicine. her condition used to be much better. she used to go to the market go for walks earn play around with her. she used to laugh and have fun there were no problems.

with some time later on we noticed but she couldn't sit up on her own or turn over of your kind about me what here. slowly she started looking to press. when we would talk to her she would not reply . so we brought her to the doctor the doctor said she's been like this since birth and there might be some treatment for her.

today we're at a point where we wanted to do a lot but we can't do much. for the people that has an ending because people continue to be there more than hundred thousand people still chronically ill and there's a thousand people who have been forced to drink contaminated water for the last

fifteen sixteen years. the next generation is affected then you do not know when it stop. in my eyes this hospital is of no use all the doctors here are useless too it's like putting a child's life in danger it's a waste of time and money. to be. here at the hospital money talks. you give money and to be looked after we are poor people and we don't have money and that's why no one looks after us even if your child is dying.

we have spent five thousand rupees since we have come here i'm not sad about that i will earn it again but as for my daughter there is no improvement and we don't know what to do. whatever is within my power i will do it. the hospitals don't even give our met some to those who need it or if someone doesn't have gas relief papers. how does he apply for medication. if a prescription is made for five rupees how is a poor laborer going to spare five rupees at the end of the day all of the big ministers of the state are in money in their pockets i want to face them even if they put me behind bars and i'm ready to go to jail for these poor people because these hunger thirst sickness look at those gutter tents couldn't fall sick by drinking that water.

right now people are not getting proper treatment they have built beaked on hospitals but they give priority to people who have money but. poor people get no preference. bhopal hospital was made for gas victims but treatment is not given in time and people die painfully waiting for treatment. sometimes i feel like there is nothing in our control. there are so many memories and so much pain that comes since the gas tragedy that surviving has become a leave in hell. before we had no hope that cyber would even survive we just left everything to god

and. came to this hospital. slowly her condition has improved and we realize these injections are very powerful . the doctor told us the same thing about the injections and once this course is over another will begin and those are supposed to be even better than. the doctor said she's almost conscious now. when we came here we were very sad and when we leave i just want us to be very happy here.

but isn't that rather shaming for so many years after that terrible tragedy poisonous chemicals were still there. for training no there's no truth in it there was chemical waste and it was decided that waste could be disposed of put into the instructions of the supreme court so there was nothing has additional human life that you'll immediately a little later on in the group and i'll be here to tease out a study on the toxic legacy of union got by factory and will bought and then lot of stock in the guy who made that and we have some people that decide he's not boxing

outside the factory he collected eleven ground water samples he found mostly in one thousand of the displaced people find that drinking water and spending all the sound was that he collected from the site when heavily contaminated the audio quality but the backbone needed been his best inside and willing to let me go through. the belief that obama is not a one time disaster it is a continuing disaster simply because that is exciting ground was a combination and combination of a lot of it the whole body because of your. life there is a contradiction in what the government is saying i mean you have to ask the government and i think it's a very good question that the government the indian government is submitting a request for relief. to us we're saying we support this we want the union carbide to clean up this plant and this. pollution at the same time the government is making statements that there is no pollution problem every time an indian politicians makes

a statement like this this is union carbide submitted to the american court and says look even their own government says there is no problem this is a class action the case has been pending since ninety nine. the plaintiffs are people from the affected community. people who are suffering from health effects. from the eighty's onward. us costs in every way possible and. there was already by design straight away it meant production of safety. equipment which was provided here such as the refrigeration system for the storage tank where am i see how to be kept at a low temperature for safety reasons was all shut down in may one thousand nine hundred four. shut down. just to save something like seventy dollars a day each man that. was unsafe. behind

me a storage tank number six hundred and ten this was the storage tank that leaked the process vent line of this tank and could not hold the pressure. for this reason water travelled into the tank while the water entering into the tank may have been the immediate trigger of the disaster the fact that all the safety systems were turned off well certainly contributing to the disaster the fact that he was not being stored as it was originally required to be stored at zero degrees celcius that fact contributed so that you really had of causes coming together after the accident i found out that the machinery provided by union carbide for the plant was unproven technology the used equipment verifying it or making sure it was safe.

because i was working with union carbide india ltd. that's what i were gret. but i was not in control of the workers and. their vote. everything was in control of higher management. there were criminal charges for an offense known under indian law as culpable homicide which would be the equivalent of manslaughter and union carbide had been served but had refused to appear to face those criminal charges. with me to day one and. read you know just returned on a trip familiar so i want to take this opportunity to express my deep sympathy for all of the. terrible tragedy unfold. and when i first heard of the reports. they were sketchy at first. by the time tuesday morning. the magnitude of the

tragedy. quite apparent so friday morning. and we arrived. there was a subdued crowd waiting at the airport to be union carbide chairman warren anderson but the day's events which would take an extraordinary turn with dramatic developments almost. never got to meet the victims of power or indeed his own engineers he was whisked away in a police caught to the company's guesthouse in the hills about the town. but. i think he came because in part it was his response of if you could be. i think. i would do if i was him i would be responsible mr anderson had taken refuge behind the gates and was definitely not receiving visits then the local police superintendent drove out to the startling news that mr anderson and two local union

carbide executives were on down the rest of. the. there was. the world. and everybody knew it was coming. and. there were. several. general. which. had been arrested on charges of criminal and constructive. offenses carrying a possible two year jail sentence and theoretically. even the company's lawyer could see them as they were confined. saw the problem.

as government. trying to. solve a problem. at the magic pradesh state headquarters a senior official confirmed the government would be seeking compensation for damages launched a bitter attack on union carbide this government. of the tragedy. and knows its. innocent citizens whose lives have been slowed. dramatically affected. by a cruel. on the part of the management of the union. of course.

but. the. request for extradition of. the us government has denied that request. warren anderson to face drive. the proposal for the method that save it black was one anderson who approved it and it was warren anderson who was informed about d.n.a. being a condition of safety in the plant all this was his personal knowledge.
