The Indian city that turned into a gas chamber | I remember the Bhopal Gas Tragedy

In December 1984, a poisonous gas leak killed thousands of people in the central Indian city of Bhopal. The city and its residents are still reeling from the after-effects of one of the biggest industrial disasters of the world. One family that witnessed the horrors of this tragedy share their story with their children.

Report in India is 10,000 deaths. It is 100,000 people died according to one bhopali women I know. Plus, people became blind, handicapped follow.

[@vishalbhatnagar4305]

Do not exaggerate. There are my known people, my relatives & friends who used to reside near by site of gas leak. No body claimed this much death toll and all of them survived..

[@vishalbhatnagar4305]

और वैसे भी भोपाली खासतौर पर पुराने शहर के रिहायशी बहुत बतोलेबाज और लंबी लंबी छोड़ने वाले होते हैं,Their women's are no Exceptions....

[@HamzaKhan-hq3hl]

Don't believe in any women or any man who don't have any type of evidence or proof and just few days ago one of my relative she is also women said that 15 to 20 lakhs people died when I told her about the real death numbers And how it is even possible when the population was only 8.5 lakhs So 1 lakh is also a very big number I don't think more than 20 thousand died because it's also a big number 🤷🤷

[@jyotibhagvatima]

[@darrendjay4035]

8km radius people were affected how come this family didn't get affected of the gas, I suppose gas leaks even through closed doors or windows, and knowing there is a leak why didn't this family evacuate for a certain period of time.....strange!

[@vishalbhatnagar4305]

Bcoz there is difference between Facts and exaggeration.

do you consider 500$ per person as compensation when the company earned billion dollars???

[@sonalrawat2559]

Even after 3 decades of the tragedy, it’s ill remains can still be seen, felt and observed physically and mentally. Loss of family, recurring diseases and disorders are some of these to name a few!
