The Supreme Court on Friday (February 2) requested the Chief Justice of Madhya Pradesh High Court to constitute a committee headed by a senior judge to look into the complaints regarding compensation of Bhopal gas tragedy victims.<\/p>\n

The bench comprising Chief Justice Dipak Misra <\/a>and Justices A M Khanwilkar and D Y Chandrachud was acting on a plea by the Bhopal Gas Peedith Mahila Udyog Sanghathan, alleging that the victims have not been compensated as per the orders of the Madhya Pradesh High Court.<\/p>\n

Even after 33 years of the tragedy, the victims are running from pillar to post to get compensation. In January 2017, the Madhya Pradesh High Court <\/a>had pulled up the Union Ministry of Health and Family Welfare for not providing proper medical care and attention to the affected persons of the tragedy.<\/p>\n

The Court had noted: \u201cInstead of taking expeditious steps for utilisation of the money and recruitment of doctors\/specialists to provide long term solution for the treatment of the Bhopal gas victims, the bureaucracy is not moving, and if moving, it is at a snail\u2019s pace.\u201d<\/p>\n
