New Delhi, June 24: Bhopal gas victims today staged a demonstration here at Jantar Mantar and said the compensation package offered by the GoM was flawed.
“An entire population affected by the gas has been left out of the compensation package. People living in some municipal areas of Bhopal which were severely affected have not been included as beneficiaries in the package,” Sadhna Karnik Pradhan, Coordinator of the Bhopal Gas Peedit Sangharsh Sahyog Samiti said.
Pradhan said only 38,478 affected people have been listed as having being partially affected and 3,241 as completely affected due to the tragedy.
“The numbers are much more,” said Pradhan, who has been fighting for the cause of the victims for the last over two decades.
