Four organizations of survivors of the Union Carbide disaster here on Tuesday claimed that compensation for the disaster would be a central issue in the ensuing elections in 5 out of 7 Bhopal constituencies.
Five local officials of BJP and Indian National Congress present at the press conference supported the organisations’ call to all survivors of the disaster to remain united on the issue of compensation when casting their votes in a few months.
“In the last two months we have held a series of meetings in different parts of the constituencies where survivors of the disaster continue to reside. There is growing support from the survivors as well as local officials of the two main parties to our slogan, Rashida Bee said.
