He described how people unrelated to the incident were produced as witnesses by government of India in the USA court then and how some contentious versions of Union Carbide given in the court like inspection of the plant by officers concerned in India two weeks before the tragedy were not contested by Indian government, thus weakening its case against the MNC.…"The author surmises the story of brutal perfidy of victims in the ‘Preface’ of the book before unfolding them in subsequent chapters. With passage of time, the vast resources meant for gas victims were virtually looted and misappropriated on a massive scale.The officer was interestingly avoiding taking responsibility for their entries..Similarly, there were attempts to scuttle the directive by Madhya Pradesh high court then to collect samples of the killer gas that caused deaths of the people."Thus the Union Carbide Corporation of https://www.bettnmac.com/product/banding-machine/ Warren Anderson won and Indian government and Madhya Pradesh government lost," he noted in his book.It came to light a couple of months ago when a gas victim and social activist moved a court in Madhya Pradesh seeking to book Mr Singh and the then superintendent of police of Bhopal district Swaraj Puri for facilitating escape of the Union Carbide boss from India to the USA then, shutting out all legal doors to prosecute him."If anything was regrettable, it was the agreement for a paltry sum of only 470 million dollars in full and final discharge of all civil and criminal liabilities," Mr Singh said. Alleged machinations by some quarters had led to collection of only 300 gm of samples each from five tanks of MIC in the plant as against the 5 kg of gas each of these tanks as ordered by the court.A large number of the deceased in the tragedy had remained unidentified depriving their kin to get compensation, due to indifferent laxity by the officers concerned.The very first page of the book under the Forward note dropped hints on the treachery of the victims done by a section of official machinery, observing, "At the same time, the Union Carbide, in tandem with a few influential officers and doctors, did all that it could do to subvert the efforts of rescue, relief and rehabilitation operations that were being done by the dedicated people and saw to it that the guilty were not punished and surviving gas victims did not even get just and fair compensation.The 279-page book had disappeared mysteriously in the market soon after it was published in 2008.Mr Singh who was collector and district magistrate of Bhopal and chief coordinator of rescue, relief and rehabilitation operation then, narrates in his book how the whole conspiracy to let off Union Carbide in the court in USA began barely four days after the tragedy.Anderson was taken to Union Carbide guesthouse here from the airport and a couple of hours later he was against brought back to Bhopal airport to fly to New Delhi by a state plane.The tragedy happened when lethal Methyl Iso-Cyanate (MIC) gas leaked from the pesticide plant of Union Carbide here in the intervening night of December 2-3, 1984.The Bhopal gas tragedy of 1984, that had left more than 25,000 people dead and over five lakh others maimed, is a sordid saga of "betrayal" of its own people by a country and an "inhumanely indifferent" administration that appeared keener on saving its skin rather than providing succour to victims during the disaster.The team had "utilized" their post-tragedy stay in the plant in gathering material to prepare strong defence for the Union Carbide and to weaken the case of our government in the court in USA, he revealed.Claims cases of gas victims were tampered with and supporting documents were delinked and destroyed…."The author appears to be overwhelmed by emotions while introducing the book to his readers, saying, "
