Two years jail for the top brass of Union Carbide India Limited. Two years for making a pleasant December night a nightmare of pain and death. Can anyone imagine what that night in Bhopal must have been without a shudder going down one's spine? What it must have felt like to have your own breath suffocate you and to watch helplessly as your kids and parents exhaled life with every breath?
Is two years enough? Anyway, who is responsible? Why did the tank burst? Who was really responsible? The one man who failed to make sure the valves and water tanks were maintained or the one who decided it was okay to clear pipes with water…completely disregarding the fact that the water could leak into the tank which stored the lethal MCI.
Or is it the top officials who decided to use the more dangerous but cheaper MCI for their pesticide?
Two years or 20, can justice be done without fixing accountability….real accountability?
