Leaders of five organisations of survivors of the Union Carbide disaster on Monday faxed a memorandum to Home Minister P Chidambaram a day ahead of his visit to Bhopal.

Alleging that the Group of Ministers (GoM) on the Bhopal gas tragedy had failed to keep the promises made to victims, victim organizations urged GoM chairperson and Union Home Minister P. Chidambaram to present correct figures of death and injury to provide adequate compensation, and also to treat environmental remediation as a separate issue in itself.

Home Minister P. Chidambaram, along with Minister of Law and Justice Salman Khurshid, and Minister of State for Parliamentary Affairs V. Narayansamy, will be visiting Bhopal on Tuesday, to take stock of the situation, regarding disposal of tonnes of hazardous waste lying inside the Union Carbide factory premises.

The Supreme Court has pulled up the Centre for not being serious about cleaning up the toxic waste lying around for the past 28 years at the defunct Union Carbide plant in Bhopal.

“You are not sure even after 28 years. It is because the people affected, and living in Bhopal, are poor. It is a failure on your part to deal with this,” said the Bench, consisting of Justices G.S. Singhvi and S.J. Mukhopadhyay.
