Bhopal Gas Tragedy-A Leviathan tragedy

The Bhopal gas tragedy has been in the news nowadays.
It has been one of the greatest industrial disasters ever to take place anywhere.

The tragedy has been compounded many times by the inaction and lack of proper settlement for the victims.

The fact that the victims got such a paltry sum for such a gigantic industrial disaster thrust at them by the callousness of a global MNC shows how far judicial activism has to go in our country.

The fact that the key player Warren Anderson was allowed to leave the country without making Dow chemicals pay its dues for the leviathan tragedy it thrust on the innocent Bhopal people is pitiable.

The case has been stretching on endlessly in courts without the hapless victims getting adequate relief and succor from the protagonists of the industrial disaster.

THIS RIGHTLY JUSTIFIES THE ADAGE-"TOO LATE IS BAD"-"JUSTICE DELAYED IS JUSTICE DENIED".
