Les militants accusent le gouvernement d’avoir abandonné les victimes de la catastrophe, très vulnérables au coronavirus en raison de leur santé fragile.

« Nous l’avons alerté sur le fait que s’ils ne prenaient pas de mesures pour les protéger, beaucoup de victimes de la fuite de gaz allaient mourir du Covid-19... mais il n’en a pas tenu compte », déplore Rachna Dhingra du Groupe d’information et d’action de Bhopal.

Tout comme M. Khatik, Gulnaz, une femme au foyer de 35 ans, a vécu « un cauchemar » quand son beau-père Riyazuddin, qui souffrait de problèmes respiratoires depuis le désastre, s’est plaint de difficultés respiraTtoires.

« Nous avons dû nous battre », explique-t-elle, affirmant que quatre hôpitaux, parmi lesquels le BMHRC, [Bhopal Memorial Hospital and Research Centre, un établissement de pointe dédié aux patients souffrant des conséquences de cette fuite de gaz toxique] ont refusé de s’occuper de cet homme de 65 ans.

There have also been obstacles in pushing issues which are of importance to India. A classic case was the promulgation of “High Risk Areas” when piracy was at its peak and dominated media headlines.

The IMO’s demarcation resulted in half the Arabian Sea and virtually the entire south-west coast of India being seen as piracy-infested, despite the presence of the Indian Navy and Coast Guard. The “Enrica Lexie” shooting incident of 2012, off the coast of Kerala was a direct fallout of the demarcation.
