Bhopal Gas Tragedy: Four Decades Later, Toxic Legacy Moves to Pithampur – But at What Cost?

The Bhopal Gas Tragedy, often referred to as the world's worst industrial disaster, unfolded in the early hours of December 3, 1984. A pesticide factory owned by the American Union Carbide Corporation leaked methyl isocyanate gas, exposing over half a million people in Bhopal to deadly toxins. The immediate aftermath was catastrophic, with 5,474 deaths officially recorded and countless others maimed for life. Even decades later, survivors continue to suffer from chronic health issues, while the toxic legacy of the disaster lingers in the soil and water of the affected areas. #BhopalGasTragedy #ToxicWasteDisposal #Bhopal40YearsOn #IndustrialDisaster #PithampurFacility #EnvironmentalCleanup #BhopalLegacy #DisasterManagement #ToxicWasteIncineration #HazardousWaste #EnvironmentalJustice #BhopalSurvivors #CleanUpOperation #MadhyaPradeshNews #BhopalGasVictims Also Read Madhya Pradesh Minister Addresses Waste Disposal Concerns Linked to Bhopal Gas Tragedy :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/waste-disposal-bhopal-gas-tragedy-dhar-011-4032103.html?ref=DMDesc Bhopal Gas Tragedy: Read The Timeline Of Events :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/bhopal-gas-tragedy-read-the-timeline-of-events-4031385.html?ref=DMDesc Bhopal Gas Tragedy: As Toxic Waste From Union Carbide Factory Removed, Let's Know Key Facts About The Incident :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/bhopal-gas-tragedy-as-toxic-waste-from-union-carbide-factory-removed-lets-know-key-facts-about-th-4031375.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.97~PR.121~PR.152~PR.282~
