The Killer Plant That Keeps on Killing
777 The newsletter of the Bhopal Medical Appeal, October 2003 The killer plant that keeps on killing In Union Carbide’s abandoned pesticide factory in Bhopal, deadly chemicals lie exposed in the open air. Eighteen monsoons have washed the poisons deep into the soil - and into local drinking wells. Read the full story on page 4. SAAT SAAT together together together This newsletter’s name arose from an attempt to capture the spirit of the Bhopal Medical Appeal. Someone suggested, ‘saat, saat, saat’, which in Hindi means ‘together, together, together’, but with a slight twist of the tongue could also mean ‘seven, seven, seven.’ Nightmare The Appeal was launched in 1994, when a man from Bhopal came to without end Britain to tell whoever would listen about the calamitous condition of page 4 the still suffering victims of the Union Carbide gas disaster. Those who met him learned that after ten years, the survivors had received no meaningful medical help. (Unless one is prepared to accept that aspirin is a cure-all for the dreadful illnesses visited on them.) The survivors realised that they must help themselves, because nobody else would. They wanted to open their own free clinic for gas victims. They were joined in the UK by a few individuals who put the mechanics of the Appeal together. They were in turn joined in this effort by you, and other like minded people. Carbide’s factory ‘We’ means all of us, all together. still killing Our first appeal, which appeared in The Guardian and The Observer on page 6 the 10th anniversary, produced a response so generous that we were able to buy a building, recruit doctors and staff and open the clinic. -

Indian Railways Budget Speech 1979-80 372 Speech of Prof
Indian Railways Budget Speech 1979-80 Speech of Prof. Madhu Dandavate Introducing the Railway Budget For 1979-80 on 20 th February, 1979 Mr. Speaker , I rise to present to the House an account of the performance of the Indian Railways during the current year and the Annual Financial Statement showing the estimated receipts and expenditure for the year 1979-80. While presenting the Budget for 1978-79, I had proposed a number of measures, offering a better deal to the rail-users, particularly the II class passengers, and to the railway staff. I am glad to say that despite the difficulties encountered by the railways due to the fury of floods and other odds, including public agitations unrelated to railway problems, 1978-79 has been yet another year of concerted efforts by the Railways to accomplish the tasks assigned to them. Actuals for 1977-78 - Record Surplus 2. Before I proceed to discuss the Railways’ performance during 1978-79 and the Revised Estimates for the year, I would like to refer to the actual financial results of 1977-78. I am happy to inform the House that in the 125 th year of the Indian Railways, as against the projected surplus of Rs. 89.32 crores in the Revised Estimates, the Railways actually achieved an all-time record surplus of Rs.126.23 crores. The increase in the net surplus has been achieved despite the originating revenue loading of goods traffic falling short of the Revised Estimates by about three million tonnes through stringent economy measures, curtailment of revenue expenditure in tune with the decline in traffic and better realisation of outstanding dues. -
'Turnaround' of Indian Railways
INDIAN INSTITUTE OF MANAGEMENT AHMEDABAD y INDIA Research and Publications ‘Turnaround’ of Indian Railways: A Critical Appraisal of Strategies and Processes G. Raghuram W.P. No.2007-02-03 February 2007 The main objective of the working paper series of the IIMA is to help faculty members, Research Staff and Doctoral Students to speedily share their research findings with professional colleagues, and to test out their research findings at the pre-publication stage INDIAN INSTITUTE OF MANAGEMENT AHMEDABAD-380 015 INDIA W.P. No. 2007-02-03 Page No. 1 IIMA y INDIA Research and Publications ‘Turnaround’ of Indian Railways: A Critical Appraisal of Strategies and Processes Abstract Indian Railways (IR), which was declared to be heading towards bankruptcy as per the Expert Group on Indian Railways in 2001, is today the second largest profit making Public Sector Undertaking after ONGC. The fund balance crossed Rs.12,000 crores in 2005-06, which had reached a low of just Rs.149 crores in 1990-2000. The total investment being planning for the eight-year time frame (2007-2015) is tentatively in the order of Rs.350,000 crores. This confidence is not only due to the rising trend of performance, but also due to the significant growth in the past two years. These two years coincided with Mr. Lalu Prasad being at the helm of affairs of the IR, having moved into his position on 23rd May, 2004. Railway officials called this as the ‘turnaround’ of IR. This paper attempts a diagnosis of the ‘turnaround,’ beginning with the question as to whether it really was a ‘turnaround’. -
Bhopal As a Case Study - Union Carbide Corp
Bhopal as a Case Study - Union Carbide Corp. INVESTIGATION OF LARGE-MAGNITUDE INCIDENTS: BHOPAL AS A CASE STUDY Ashok S. Kalelkar Arthur D. Little, Inc. Cambridge, Massachusetts, USA Presented At The Institution of Chemical Engineers Conference On Preventing Major Chemical Accidents London, England May 1988 ABSTRACT The investigation of large-magnitude incidents is fraught with difficulties and the process of establishing the primary cause of an incident often requires an understanding of human nature in addition to the necessary technical and engineering skills. The salient non-technical features that are common to the investigation of large-magnitude events are discussed in general. The investigation of the Bhopal disaster is discussed as a specific case study in light of these salient features. The results of the overall investigation are discussed and it is demonstrated that the commonly-held view that water-washing of a certain header caused the disaster is physically impossible. Evidence is presented which indicates that direct water entry into the methyl isocyanate storage tank was the likely initiating cause of the Bhopal disaster. I. INTRODUCTION In the aftermath of a major accident or incident in the chemical industry, it is common practice to ascertain the cause of the event through an investigation. If the magnitude of the incident is very large in terms of its impact on people, property, or the environment, it is not uncommon to assemble several teams of investigators to seek the cause of the incident independently. In the United States, a large-magnitude event may be investigated by the company that owns the facility, the insurance group that provides the liability coverage, federal investigators (e.g., OSHA, EPA), and state and local regulatory agencies. -

Environment Clearance Ref: 1. Letter No J-13012/16/2017-IA.II (T) Respected Sir, We thank you for your support and cooperation so far for Environment Clearance for Bhopal project. Please find our response as follows: Point 5i – Quantity of unsegregated MSW and waste for feeding to the boiler and characteristics of MSW: We wish to confirm that the proposed Waste to Energy power plant is designed to fire processed waste and not unsegregated waste. The plant is designed with an installed capacity to fire 1050TPD of processed waste of 1650 kcal/kg Net Calorific Value (NCV) to produce 21MW of gross electric power by firing processed waste. Since, it’s difficult to provide a single boiler capable of firing 1050TPD of processed waste, we shall be providing two lines/numbers of boilers with an installed capacity of 750TPD (15MW) and 300TPD (6MW). The steam from both the boilers shall be combined together and same shall be fed to a common 21MW steam turbine. Generator also shall be of 21MW capacity. Please see details of waste projection from Bhopal city and adjoining cluster areas as given by Bhopal Corporation in the Project Information document (PIM), in the table attached below. -
