BACKGROUND:
On the 3rd day of the fast, and Day 2 of the waterless fast, Bhopalis will be joined by eminent citizens from Delhi. The Government of India has promised to act with alacrity to every need of the corporate citizen — single window clearances, expedited and simplified licensing procedures. But for the ordinary citizen, getting his or her due as a human being remains a tortuous, convoluted and fraught process. Bhopalis are on a waterless fast demanding equal distribution of ex-gratia payment of Rs. 1 lakh among all affected people, the correction of the compensation being demanded by GoI from Union Carbide in its curative petition in Supreme Court. The Government is demanding just $1.2 billion while scientific estimates peg the additional compensation required at $8.1 billion.
