Lessons not learnt from Bhopal gas tragedy: Green activists

Green activists in the city Monday recalled the 1984 Bhopal Gas Tragedy and warned that the administration and the public had not learnt lessons as reflected in their callous attitude.

The activists, in particular, slammed the government agencies for allegedly neglecting security concerns and failing to regularly monitor industrial installations.

"From kitchens at home to industries or construction sites, carelessness was widely visible, often leading to avoidable disasters," said activist Mohan Singh.

River Connect Campaign member Devashish Bhattacharya said "the callous neglect of rules and standards, had become part of our national character."
