Bhopal: The Bhopal gas
tragedy survivors will observe a 'Black Day' Nov 1, the 56th
Foundation Day of Madhya Pradesh, to protest the state
government's inaction to help them get justice, survivors said
Saturday.
The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) government in the state has
planned to celebrate the Madhya Pradesh Day in a grand style. Bollywood yesteryear actress Hema Malini and playback singer Asha
Bhosle are to perform at a function that has been scheduled.
"We will observe a black day as there is resentment among the
survivors over the state government's inaction to help them get
justice," Abdul Jabbar, convener of the Bhopal Gas Peedit Mahila
Udyog Sangathan, told IANS.
Jabbar said they have written to Chief Minister Shivraj Singh
Chouhan, demanding setting up of a special court to expedite the
proceeding of criminal case against those accused in the case.
The letter also demands proper compensation on the basis of the
enhanced figures of deaths and disability that came up later among
others.
