Children
of victims of the Bhopal gas tragedy can hope for free medical
treatment again, thanks to the Supreme Court. Early this month, the
Madhya Pradesh government barred hospitals from treating free of cost
victims' children above 18 years of age. The Supreme Court has
overturned this order, pointing out that victims' children too were
affected by the toxic fumes that their parents inhaled way back in
1984, when 40 tonnes of methyl isocyanate (MIC) gas leaked from Union
Carbide's plant at Bhopal.
