'Open Wounds' - 03.12.2009

A chance for justice in Bhopal 25 years after the tragedy.



Bhopal is yet not at peace.

Twenty-five years after the Union Carbide (UC) industrial disaster, many families are still embarked on a journey of sufferance and injustice that began on the night of December the 3rd, 1984.

Half a million people...

  • Salman, 13, a child with a severe psychological disability and blindness, is portrayed in his home in the impoverished Arif Nagar Colony, Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh, India, near the former Union Carbide industrial complex. Over 30.000 people are here at risk by the ongoing water contamination. The chemical waste of UC (now owned by Dow Chemical, an important and powerful US corporation) has been left unattended for 25 years and has poisoned much of Bhopal's underground water reservoirs giving way to a new generation of children born with serious neurological and physical disabilities. Many of the families living near the former UC site are poor urban slum dwellers who, due to extreme poverty, are forced to drink the affected water lying underneath. As a general standard compensation for the Union Carbide accident, her mother was given twice the small sum of 25.000 Indian Rupees (Euros 400), the last time being over 5 years ago, which at the time was mostly 'wasted' on medication. Not even a small compensation was ever offered for the second-generation victims of this ongoing tragedy. By photographer Alex Masi

  • A lone girl is refreshing under the late monsoon rain in the impoverished Oriya Basti Colony in Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh, India, near the former Union Carbide industrial complex. When the heavy monsoon rain falls every year, it seeps through the buried waste of Union Carbide before proceeding to fill up and pollute Bhopal's underground reservoirs. Over 30.000 people are here at risk by the ongoing underground water contamination.

  • Meena Kashi, 5, a child born with physical disabilities from a gas-affected mother is portrayed with her mother and brothers in front of their home in the impoverished Oriya Basti Colony, Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh, India, near the former Union Carbide industrial complex. Over 30.000 people are here at risk by the ongoing water contamination. Meena can't walk and spends her days sitting in the house. Her family cannot find the time or the money to bring her to Chingari Trust and her condition is not likely to improve.

  • Tasleen, 26, the gas-affected mother of Zubin, 3, is trying to soothe her child's suffering by offering love and care while she lies on her lap inside their home in an impoverished area of Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh, India, near the former Union Carbide industrial complex. Over 30.000 people are here at risk by the ongoing water contamination. Zubin was born healthy but developed severe physical and neurological deficiencies in her early childhood, a symptom believed to be connected to consuming contaminated water.

  • The left-over of the Union Carbide Control Room is photographed in Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh, India. The large US Corporation Dow Chemical purchased Union Carbide in 2001 for $10.3 billion in stock and debt. Dow has publicly stated several times that the Union Carbide settlement payments have already fulfilled Dow's financial responsibility for the disaster. On the night of the disaster, on 3rd of December 1984, the plant released 42 tonnes of toxic methyl isocyanate (MIC) gas, exposing more than 500,000 people to toxic gases, while all of the many safety systems in place failed to work due to poor maintenance. The Bhopal Medical Appeal was launched in 1984 and is behind the last open legal case Sahu VS Union Carbide (UC) et al, launched in a US Court to claim compensation for the clean-up operations in Bhopal as well as for damages to the entire community. A victory would set an important precedent in the US legal system forcing others to also review the ethical grounds of their activities in foreign countries and possibly leading to improved working conditions and health and safety standards.

  • The contorted legs of Faizan, 14, are a clear example of the dangers faced by the children and their families living in Arif Nagar, one of the many impoverished colonies of Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh, India, located dangerously near the former Union Carbide industrial complex.

  • Kushi Verma, 7, a girl born with mental and physical disabilities from gas-affected parents is taking part to a physiotherapy session at Chingari Trust, in Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh, India. The trust offers assistance, education, physiotherapy and advice to hundreds of children born from gas-affected parents or being fed highly contaminated water since a very early age, when the body is more likely to be affected and to suffer irreparable damage. Chingari is working in collaboration with the Bhopal Medical Appeal which is also behind the last open legal case Sahu VS Union Carbide (UC) et al, launched in a US Court and seeking compensation for the clean-up operations in Bhopal as well as for damages to the entire community.
