An Incident, which we should not forget!!!

03 Dec. 14, 20:47

Thirty years ago, a place in India named as “Bhopal” faced one of most horrendous nights in the history of human civilization. The disaster or catastrophe is known as the Bhopal Gas Tragedy, which occurred by gas leak in the Union Carbide. It is, also known as the world’s worst industrial disaster. 

It happened from the night of 2 December and continued until 3 December 1984 at Union Carbide India Limited pesticide plant in Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh. The gas leaked from the plant was Methyl Isocyanate, and it affected near about 500,000 people. It was so poisonous that it made its way in and around the towns situated near the plant.

It leads to the death of near about 3787 people, which confirmed by M.P. Government. Ingrid Ackerman estimated near about 8,000 died or more within two weeks from the day of the gas leak. Nevertheless, believe me it has ruined the life of so many people, which cannot calculate. 

The reason of this catastrophe is a debatable question. The Government of India and many activists alleged careless management and delayed maintenance, which made a situation where routine pipe upholding caused a back-flow of water into a MIC tank, which eventually triggered the disaster. Union Carbide challenged that the water entered the tank through an act of sabotage.

The plant was in charge, by Warren Anderson, who was CEO at that time in Bhopal. Many court cases filed against him, but all the cases were useless because he ran from the nation immediately after the incident, and he never returned.

Let me talk now, what I actually want to convey. The people, who were accused and involved in the incident, got no imprisonment or serious punishment. The laws were, changed for those people, the actual punishment was about 7 years, but the sections in Indian Penal Code (IPC) were changed and only two people got punishment, which was two years only. The compensation was about 7000 crores but it settled by the Government of congress about 750 crores.

The affected people got neither any compensation nor any justice from Indian Government. Warren Anderson, who was responsible in this incident never, returned to India and he avoided Indian laws throughout his life. He expired in 2014.

The effects can be, observed in the people in 2014. The people there are mostly blind or having some physical disorder. Whenever I see their pictures, my heart cries for them. Many children, women, men, adults and elder people, who were innocent suffered this horrific night. They slept on 2 December and never woke up. Internet is full of stories, reports and pictures, of the affected people and every report is screaming for the justice. The justice for the people, they do not need money or fame, they need justice, pure justice.

I hope I have expressed my views about Bhopal Tragedy.

Have a Good Night.

WHAT J&K SHOULD UNDERSTAND!!!

Today my article is violent, exasperate, somehow sarcastic, full of anger and is going to displease few people. Jammu & Kashmir is facing a serious tragedy nowadays. Rain happened there vigorously for the 7-10 days, and due to which Kashmir valley is flooded completely. Many homes, shops, roads, bridges, hospitals, public places are damaged completely due to this heinous flood. A majority of people have lost their homes, cattle, lands, and their jobs. This lose is really huge and I am not an economist that I will tell you the figure of this gigantic lose. The flood is everywhere what I can see from news media. Indian army, air force and NDRF are working there without any self gain or purpose. They are working with complete honesty and saving the citizens of J&K, they are not considering any caste, creed, religion etc. They are doing their “Dharma”. I seriously respect Indian Govt. and Defence forces for their constant support and immediate decisions.

The defence personnel have carried plane loads of medicine, food, clothes and other essential materials to different parts of Srinagar and other affected areas. They are still trying to rescue people from the rooftops and other flooded houses.

Army Chief General Dalbir Singh Suhag has made a statement that his men will not return to their barracks till the last person is rescued.

This is what I call “Respect”. Respect for Army attitude and dedication.

Now where are Kashmiri protestors and Hurriyat goons who use to pelt stones on these soldiers and always having a “Pro-Pakistan” point of view. They always betray our sentiments by favouring Pakistan over us. They talk to Pak delegation, and pass an ordinance against India in their assembly. They eat ours and have loyalty towards Pakistanis. Now, seriously what’s wrong with them? Why they have such love and affection for Pakistan, and hate for us?

During this tragedy where are they? They call themselves as “Thekedaars” and “Owners” of J&K, where are they now? Why they not talking about this tragedy? Why they don’t help people of J&K now! Why they don’t realise its India and only India who is going to help them, not a terrorist maker country?

Where are Yasin Malik and Gillani, who use to slaughter many Indian citizens just to get some revenge? They use to decoy people of J&K against India. They want referendum in their state; I am seriously asking them where the hell you are? Why don’t you come out and support citizen of J&K?

Whatever is possible by central Govt. they are doing it. But state Govt. is making unnecessary comments, such as J&K CM says “Neither can I stop rain nor I can do it, its natural happening, if I could do anything I would do”. Seriously Mr. Abdullah what have you just said? Are you nuts? Yeah I agree it’s a natural happening but how can you make some comments which are going to hurt people’s sentiments. It’s height of nonsense and indecision.

It’s not a time to play politics, and politicians across the country should not make any statement which hurt the emotions of J&K. around 250 people are dead in this tragedy and many are missing. I hope they will get back to their normal life again. My sentiments are with the citizen of J&K, may the dead rest in peace. I was thinking to make this article, I am sorry if I have hurt someone’s emotions.
