Union Carbide must clean Bhopal mess

UN OBSERVER, SEPTEMBER 2, 2006

BHOPAL - After an appellate court in the United States rejected claims by Bhopal city residents, seeking compensation from Union Carbide for environmental contamination around the site of the world's worst industrial disaster, plans are afoot to have the case transferred to India.

"Every setback presents us with new opportunities and only strengthens our resolve”, Satinath Sarangi, of the Bhopal Group for Information and Action (BGIA), one of several activist groups working with the survivors of a runaway reaction in Union Carbide's pesticides plant in this central Indian city in December 1984, that left an estimated 3,500-7,500 people dead and many more maimed.
