Prime Minister Narendra Modi should raise the issue of Bhopal gas disaster with the US President Barack Obama during the ongoing three-day visit, said NGOs working for the rights of survivors of the 1984 tragedy.
"On the occasion of Obama's visit to India, the survivors demand that leaders of both countries stop protecting corporate interests over the lives and health of ordinary people and seek reflection and course correction for ending the issues relating to the Bhopal disaster," the five NGOs said in a joint statement.
Deadly methyl isocyanate gas leaked from the Union Carbide India Ltd (UCIL) plant on the intervening night of December 2-3, 1984, killing over 3,000 people and injuring thousands of others in one of the world's worst industrial disaster.
UCIL's parent multinational company Union Carbide Corporation (UCC) was subsequently bought over by Dow Chemicals.
