#  25 years later

 Written by S Johnson on 18 December 2009.

Indian officials denied that Union Carbides Bhopal facility is still leaking dangerous toxins into the drinking water. 500,000 people were exposed to methyl isocyanate, in what was the world’s worst chemical disaster, and Bhopal Medical Appeal are adamant that the damage is still being done - that water for 15 communities is still being contaminated.

The regions Chief Minister stated that this wasn’t the case as water is shipped in by tankers from outside the region, yet this was complicated by local reports that stated that supplies were infrequent and insufficient.
