The Tribune, New Delhi, June 18, 2010, P. 10
The editorial “Deterring Bhopal-like disasters” (June 9) and other related news reports filled one with an overwhelming sense of déjà vu. The whole gamut of events amply brings out wide chinks in the legal system and vindicates the apathetic and perfunctory attitude of the law enforcers. The Bhopal gas tragedy engulfed more than 15,000 human lives and left lakhs of people maimed.
The situation reinforces a need for evolving a consensus among the nations for a stronger and unambiguous international law on extradition. Sentence of two years awarded to the guilty persons is too meagre to meet the ends of justice. There is an urgent need for legislation in such matters that would ensure stringent punishment to the culprits and just compensation to the victims.
