Twenty-five years have passed since the world’s worst man-made disaster – Bhopal gas tragedy – occurred. But despite the passage of time the trauma continues for the survivors of that fateful night of Dec 2-3, 1984, when over 40 tonnes of methyl isocyanate (MIC) spewed out of the now defunct Union Carbide’s pesticide plant. Having borne the brunt of neurological, hormonal and mental health problems – besides the economic hardships – the survivors are now faced with the problem of deformed children being born.
