BHOPAL GAS DISASTER

April 6, 1985 BHOPAL GAS DISASTER THE nigntmare of December 3 continues to haunt thousands of men, women and children in Bhopal. Hundreds of them will not live to sec the year out. With the 'epidemics' season around the corner, the health status of the disaster victims can only take a turn for the worse. One hardly sees children playing in the gas-hit bastis. Many have dropped out of schools either because of physical incapacity or because they are unable to concentrate on school- work or even to remember and recall. 'Recent amnesia' as the latter is termed affects adults too.
