Bhopal: A hospital for Bhopal gas tragedy victims will be handed over to the Indian Council for Medical Research (ICMR). But it does not seem to be good news for them.

"ICMR has no experience of running a hospital, they never managed one. The dream of getting better treatment has become a nightmare," Bhopal Gas Peedit Mahila Udhyog Sangathan convenor Abdul Jabbar told reporters Sunday.

The ICMR will take over the Bhopal Memorial Hospital Research Centre (BMHRC) from the atomic energy department, which took it over just last year.

"The process of improvement that had begun a year ago will get stopped once again," he added.

Jabbar added they will demonstrate on the issue in Delhi with 10,000 gas survivors Oct 10.
