There was no dearth UP Technical a government really want to deal with Bhopal toxic westage

It is nothing short of criminal that 33 year after what was one of the World worst industrial disasters, 336 tones of hazardous waste Steel piled up at the site of Bhopal defined Union carbide factory.

The minister for environment quiet non chalantly informed the Parliament that no pants have been shot or any allocation made to dispose of the dangerous materials.

The government has identified Technology with which it has dealt with tent on a post which seems too little too late.

Till today there has been unusual apathy towards dealing with the fallout of digester and compensation for those who diet and those who survived with  grevious injuries and disabilities.

There has been very little attempt so hard to conduct an assessment of the groundwater around the area to examine how deep the chemical may have gone and what effect that will happen to current generation and those to come.

Chemical contamination of groundwater has affected thousands of people for several kilometre around the factory. Yet nothing has been done to tackle this.

Insert the factory which ones is 2.42 towns of Lethal methyl isocyanate, all those years ago is still killing and maiming people.

The 336 stones aap toxic vestige or not the only danger. There are three Ponds oil West has been systematically dumped as well as several sites within the factory premises over waste was wasted buried.

This underscores the need to frame a national policy to deal with contaminated sites.

The Bhopal case which made International headlines and outlines how filmxy safety measures while in the factory and how easily those culpable were able to get away with the minimum charges should have been an eye opener for successive governments and should have focus and March is clicking environmental law to go on the hazardous waste it and the industrial that create these.

There is no dearth of technology available across the world if the authority is really wanted to deal with this problem.

The lack of safeguards in the problem in many hazardous Industries many of them in the unorganised sector.

Until the issues of toxic Hostage rehabitation and rehabilitation and continuing contamination of the surroundings and its effect on communities are addressed the victims who live with crippling morbidities will have no closure.

So we must take care about the people who are suffered in Bhopal gas tragedy.
