Bhopal:
The Bharatiya Janata Party ruled Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister
Shivraj Singh Chouhan has announced to constitute a one-member
enquiry commission to look after all the issues related to Bhopal
gas tragedy focusing mainly on the release of Warren Anderson, the
then CEO of the Union Carbide's killer pesticide plant.
Talking to newsmen here on Wednesday
Chouhan said a retired judge of the High Court will be the head of
the commission. He, however, did not announce the name of the judge.
The commission will present its report
on the gas tragedy, the world's worst industrial disaster which
occurred in December 1984, within a fixed time limit.
Chouhan while announcing the decision
to constitute the enquiry commission said he was disappointed by the
attitude of Government of India on the matter of the gas tragedy. He
said it is very disgusting that all the last series of events
pertaining to the gas tragedy and affected people shows lethargy by
the Union Government.
"We expected that Prime Minister of
India Dr. Manmohan Singh during his recent G-8 Summit would discuss
this matter with American President Barack Obama but our hopes were
belied", Chouhan moaned.
He said that Dr. Singh should have
discussed about the extradition of Warren Anderson and compensation
related matters with the President of America.
Chouhan questioned Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh's statement
which said: “efforts will be made for extradition of Warren
Anderson". It is not sufficient as what will be the procedure for
extradition of Warren Anderson, he asked.
He informed that he has written a letter to Prime Minister and
brought into notice about the incoherence of the recommendation put
forward by the government. It is not a fair decision by the
government to compensate a few thousands of people. He said that it
is very sad that the remaining 20 wards have not been declared
gas-affected.
He said that the state government will
make all necessary efforts to give relief to the rest 20 wards.
