description Twenty years ago last week, on Dec 3, 1984, one of the world’s worst industrial disasters took place and it still remains a nightmare for thousands of its victims, and the world at large. The Bhopal disaster involving the company, Union Carbide Corporation, has left not only scars on the surviving victims, but also on the environment.
