Bhopal Gas tragedy
At 3rd of December in 1984, a disaster strikes the city of Bhopal, Central India. The poisonous vapor from a pesticide plant was released into the air, killing more than 2000 people and 1000 animals. Even those who survived suffer from many diseases after a few years.
After the disaster, there was not much done to help the public who was suffering. Instead, there was a big lawsuit going on about who is responsible for the leakage of those poisonous vapor. Both the government and the Union Carbide did not want to take responsibilities and instead drag on the case of who should pay for the damage. In the process of doing so, more people actually suffers from the chemical.

My point of view
The government should have shared the responsibility with the Union Carbide. Then they should help the people who are suffering instead of trying to win law suit. They had over looked the fact that the people in their country need their help.
