THE TALE OF TANK NO-610

TANK NO-610, this is not an ordinary tank like we have in our homes. This bloody tank is accused of mass killing. According to Madhya Pradesh govt. it’s killed 3787 and the Dr. Lngind Eckeman, member of international medical commission of Bhopal, it’s about 8000. This is 25th anniversary of the mass killing when the union carbide factory’s tank no-610 containing MIC (Methyl Iso Cyanide) due to chemical reaction over 200 degree Celsius released large volume of deadly gas which results the world’s largest industrial disaster.

After the 25 years of this disaster, still the victims are fighting for compensation where UCIL (Union Carbide Industry Limited) given $470 million as compensation to Indian govt. but only some part of $470 million dispersed to the victims what about the rest of money. Now govt. totally forgotten this incidence and is busy to solve 26/11 and organizing “Skok shabha” of his victims.

It’s proving the country like India where the common people’s life is valueless to every one and when some one throws a stone or shoe to a political leader, it’s became the agenda of nation where thousand of innocent people are still suffering like the victims of the tragic incidence of Bhopal. Government’s false promise of development and secularism proves nothing more than the cock and bull story. They can promise for a bridge where there is no river. I think only the God has to come to correct our leaders and govt. no one can do it.

While writing this article about the victims and their plight is so panic for me how panic it is for those who faced it in reality. Govt. should understand their pain & give them justice.At last I am paying homage to the victims of Bhopal gas tragedy with tears in my eyes and praying to God may their soul rest in heaven with peace
