Today in Bhopal, around five hundred disaster survivors gathered in Neelam Park as part of their ‘Waiting for Justice’ programme. They waited from 11am until 5pm having challenged the Bhopal Gas Tragedy Relief Minister, Arif Aqueel, to explain why he has not honoured a pre-election promise of greater compensation.
The minister did not turn up despite being just a few hundred metres away at the Indira Gandhi hospital around 3 pm and being challenged to attend.
