Bhopal Disaster

Worldwide people would pay tribute to those struck by Bhopal disaster on the 26th anniversary of the world’s worst industrial disaster today while climate change is being discussed at Cancun. Japan has said no to extension of Kyoto protocol. It said if India and China are not legally bound to cut their emission levels. why should it make such a commitment? In India, We have always maintained the line that our per capita emission is far below USA and Japan so we can follow a development model where sustainability and climate change can take a back seat.Industrial safety even today is matter of concern. Last year in October there was a massive explosion in Indian Oil Corporation depot at Jaipur. I still wonder if we have drawn any lessons out of one of the most terrible industrial disasters or we are doing the lip service to this cause of clean and safe life for all?
