for so many years who's been drinkin consonance water even to see the water is still poisonous and all of our children are sick. of an entire community spends up with a problem that is why we will keep fighting until your grandchild demands the fine

to continue. inoculated for a gas leak from a union carbide corp factory in vauxhall 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 of the book. up on the contaminated water is making our lives how you're going to get each other on. all these other kinds of afic we just live very very three forty six tons of waste everything that warehouse additives i wasn't supposed to waste on the surface of the wreckage provide. this. it's 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 by the most recent study that was done shows that this water pollution and spreading more than three and a half thousand died in the immediate aftermath of the disaster after inhaling the fuse thousands more to perish is toxin seats into the ground around the plant poisoning water supplies. dry but it has been twenty seven years and there is still no proper or security talks potations or treatment of the soil and the neutralization of the chemical toxic waste 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 walking in

the back the children see that children are ten times more likely to be want to bust effects and children in the rest of the country. you know that. 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 the water and soil in pollution is and i mean crimes crimes on a large number of people. respiratory problems heart problems i problems. the ratio of patients are increasing by the day. people suffering but still people

dying and the next invasion is getting affected their lives are a fake. malformations they're born with the fact that the suffering hasn't ended them that injustice continues and the agencies responsible for this. disaster remain unpunished. thank you.

thank. you you thank. this little box is where i'm going to ride through pretense right. it's not much for my car. just a regular layer of oil and overthrow beyond. if you don't think it's as good as we trade rocks or greedy.

union god made globalization is this the american branch national that was involved in the war was. in the midst of what's called the. union guard but decided to locate the base to save manufacturing you need to. get started in the war seventies and the formulation just mixing different best to say. back in degree due to russian of methods of same. and they knew i didn't send it to their good method as is that a blind belittling in what would be understood acknowledged in their own words and that its safety was not known. to. fifty thousand injured or counted but up to two hundred thousand may be affected in the long term cerebral palsy has

begun to wish for 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 edson 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. surface which is contaminated and the chemicals which are in the earth needs to be removed and he talks of five. otherwise the pollution will continue and

people will keep using polluted water and that is very dangerous and mark. thank. you. i'm not allowed my name is salam bubble but people call me and. try i have a small business where you lot we're 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 markets go for walks and play around. she used to laugh and have fun there were no problems. with it some time later on we noticed but she couldn't sit up on her own or turn

over your kind about me to. 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 mean.

of my aunt today we are at a point where we wanted to do a lot but we can't do much. for the call people that has been an ending because people continue to be in there more than hundred thousand people still chronically ill and there's additionally people than people who have been forced to drink contaminated water for the last fifteen sixteen years when you see that the next generation is affected then you do

not know when it stop. again 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. out of everything to them. here at the hospital money talks. you give money and you'll be looked after but 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. there will spend five thousand rupees since we have come here i'm not sad about

that i will learn of 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 applied for medication. if a prescription is me for five rupees how does a poor laborer going to spend five rupees. at the end of the day all of the big ministers of the state are can pin money in their pockets i want to face them even if they put me behind bars and ready to go to jail for these poor people because these hundred things sickness look at those gutter towns couldn't fall sick by drinking that water.

right now people are not getting the proper treatment they have built leaked on hospitals but they give priority to people who have money but what the poor people get no preference. with my local hospital was made for gastric times 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 come since the gas tragedy that surviving has become a living hell. before we had no hope that cyber would even survive we just left everything to god and came to this hospital.

by the. slowly her condition has improved and we realize these injections are very powerful and. 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 slowly. the dr said she's almost conscious that. when we came here we were very sad and when we leave i just want us to be very happy. with a little up

a. little bubble bubble bubble bubble a little bit but isn't it rather shaming a little bit of it for so many years after that terrible tragedy. poisonous chemicals were still there and they. said they me no there's no truth in it there was chemical waste there and it was decided the way school people supposed off the instructions of the supreme court but there was nothing hazardous for human life there york immediately or later on and now we are here to release our study on the toxic legacy of unita like factory in hobart and there is a lot of pot in the government there and we have some reports that the site is not possible outside the factory. strong water samples he found nobody in one sample

just twenty four pints the drinking water standard all the samples then collect it from the site then heavily contaminated. by a good person site and wouldn't let me conclude. he believed there was one is not a one time disaster it is a continuing disaster simply because there is a plank in ground water contamination and contamination of a minute i hope as we go to museums. nice 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 to ask the government the union forward to submitting a request for relief. to us and we're saying we support this case we want 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 politician makes a statement like this this is a union carbide submitted to the american court and says look even their own

government says there's no problem this is a class action the case has been pending since one thousand nine hundred ninety. the plaintiffs are people from the affected communities and people who are suffering from health effects. from the eighty's onward scheme and got weighed corporation u.s.c. . costs in every way possible and far ahead of the already unsafe it by design strain to meet men production of state. owned the 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. they shut down. just to save something like seventy dollars a day which meant that the temperature of the senate bank was unsafe.

behind be a storage tank number six hundred ten this was the m i c storage tank that leaked the process vent line of this tank was faulty and could not hold the pressure. for this reason water traveled 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 a series of causes coming together after the accident i found out that the machinery provided by union carbide for the m i c plans 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 regret. but i was not in

control of the workers and. everything was in control of higher management. there were criminal charges for an offense known under indian laws 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 today it won a national chairman raise you know this return not occur from ilya so i'm going to take this opportunity to express my deep sympathy for all of those who were involved in a terrible tragedy unfold. and when i first heard of the national reports on monday the third of the schober. they were sketchy at first. by the time tuesday morning arrived the magnitude of the tragedy become quite apparent so friday morning the

federal flight and we arrived and were out of the pope or if. 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 and with dramatic developments almost hourly first mr anderson never got to meet the victims of poker or indeed his own engineers he was whisked away in a police car to the company's guest house in the hills about the town we just heard mr anderson and his team of people came i think he came because it was his response of different be here. i think. the least i would do if i was him i would be responsible mr anderson had taken refuge behind the not the gates and was definitely not receiving visitors then the local police superintendent strode out the startling news that mr anderson and two local union carbide executives were on time the rest of the country believe the rest it's up can you tell us exactly news

arrested mr cook mr britling misdemeanors and mr anderson. cooper roasted mr imus from the world yes him and there was a decision. that mr anderson and everybody should be interested. in the world. and everybody knew that he was coming for the magistrate and for world. well there was me. there were two hours with violations of several indian wars generally relating to the like of which mr anderson had been arrested on charges of criminal and constructive negligence offenses carrying a possible two year jail sentence and theoretically no chance of bail even the company's lawyer could see them as they were confined under house arrest he wasn't really any sort of a problem there was a representative of the us government for money assistance passed are you surprised

to determine the union carbide has been arrested since he's here to try and solve a problem and. look at the magic pradesh state headquarters the senior official concerned the government would be seeking compensation for damages and they launched a bitter attack on union carbide visit them and then after a minute. with a tragedy. and knows its duty. i was it's innocent citizens whose lives have been slow to really. dramatically affected. by cruel and want individuals on the part of the management of the union. bit of course he got to be and i could be. very clearly warren anderson had jumped the promise to appear in court when i was called but he just jumped bail. on the indian government has sent request

for extradition of warren anderson but the us government has denied his request he was the government says they want to send warren anderson to face trial. the proposal for the matter that they planned it was one anderson approved and it was warren anderson who was informed about the condition of safety in the plant all this while his personal knowledge. the close up team has been to the spirit loft region. where blacksmithing has developed from a craft into an industry. now archie goes far north. where attempts to put roads and rail are a battle against the elements where helicopter is the only transport for medics to

reach those in need. and where ranges and fish are treasures for the people welcome to the. autonomy area russia close up on r.t. .
