New Delhi:
The Group of Ministers on Bhopal gas tragedy will finalise its
report on Monday making its recommendations on relief,
rehabilitation and remediation issues and legal options in the wake
of the recent trial court judgement in the case.
After the first meeting of the reconstituted GoM that was mandated
by Prime Minister Manmohan Singh to give its report in 10 days, Home
Minister P Chidambaram, who heads the GoM, told reporters that the
Group was proceeding in the right direction and was determined
address all issues, including relief, rehabilitation and remediation
by Sunday.
"We are looking at them separately and then we will take a
comprehensive view," he said adding they were now looking into the
number of people affected, number of claims that were accepted and
claims categorised as death and injury cases.
He said the GoM will meet in two sessions tomorrow and on Sunday.
"On Monday, we should be able to finalise the recommendations."
"We will give our best and most sympathetic consideration to all
these people who have suffered as a result of this tragedy,"
Chidambaram said.
The GoM was announced in the wake of a raging controversy over the
light punishment given to Bhopal case accused by a local court and
several questions being raised over the exit of the then Union
Carbide chief Warren Anderson.
Union Ministers M Veerappa Moily (Law), Ghulam Nabi Azad (Health),
Kamal Nath (Surface Transport), M K Alagiri (Chemicals), Kumari
Selja (Tourism), S Jaipal Reddy (Urban Development), Prithviraj
Chavan (Science and Technology) and Jairam Ramesh (Environment).
Madhya Pradesh Minister Babulal Gaur also attended the meeting as
special invitee.
Cabinet Secretary K M Chandrashekhar, Home Secretary G K Pillai,
Foreign Secretary Nirupama Rao were among the officials who attended
the meeting.
At the meeting today, the GoM identified the areas which require
in-depth consideration in the wake of the mandate given by the Prime
Minister to look into relief, rehabilitation, remediation and all
options available to the government after the judgement of the trial
court on June 7.
"Tomorrow, we will look at legal and health issues, remediation
issues and all other issues that arise out of the judgement of the
trial court," he said.
Chidambaram said he would not be in a position to share any details
about the conclusion till the report is submitted to the Prime
Minister.
During today's deliberations, it was felt that in government's eyes,
Warren Anderson was still a proclaimed offender and the charge of
culpable homicide not amounting to murder under Section 304 (Part
II) was still there.
Tomorrow, the meeting is also likely to consider the liability of
Dow Chemicals for the cleaning up of the site in Bhopal. It was
re-collected that the Law Ministry had taken such a stand in the
Madhya Pradesh High Court.
The issue of the possibility of Anderson extradition will also be
taken tomorrow.
Asked whether the Planning Commission had given a Rs 982 crore plan
for relief, Chidambaram said the plan panel had given its view on
the Second Action Plan submitted by the Government of Madhya
Pradesh.
"It is a separate issue and will be considered," the Home Minister
said.
