What was the reason behind the Bhopal gas tragedy?
Was there any legal action taken against the company responsible?
Union Carbide Corporation faced legal action in both India and the United States following the disaster. In India, the company was charged with culpable homicide not amounting to murder, and in the United States, it faced a number of civil lawsuits. Ultimately, a settlement was reached between the Indian government and Union Carbide Corporation, which paid $470 million in compensation to victims and their families.
