Stockholm, Sweden, 05 October 2008 Stockholm, Sweden, 21/10/2008 To His Excellency, the Minister of Home Affairs, Mr Shivraj V. Patil, New Delhi, India, Fax 00 91 11 237 948 33 (3 pages including this) Regarding my application for tourist visa to India dated September 29, 2008 From the Embassy of India in Sweden, I have been told that my visa application is with the Ministry of Home Affairs. I also understand that this ministry is dealing with internal security. So I suppose my engagement for the survivors of the Union Carbide disaster in Bhopal is the reason that I have not received my visa. The Swedish Doctors for the Environment I have been a board member of the Swedish Doctors for the Environment (LfM, www.dnsy.se/lfm) since start and am now vice president. LfM is one of the professional networks within The Natural Step (DNS, www.thenaturalstep.org), a foundation under the King of Sweden. The purpose of LfM, which is a non governmental non political organisation, is to promote a development of society that leads to good living conditions and health for today’s and tomorrow’s generations, nationally as well as globally. Internationally, we cooperate with International Doctors for the Environment (ISDE, www.isde.org) and Health Care Without Harm (HCWH, www.hcwh.org). In India, we have cooperated with The Other Media, Toxics Links and Sambhavna Trust. Following up the Union Carbide Gas Disaster In 1993, ISDE was invited to take part in an International Medical Commission on Bhopal. When it came to realisation in January, 1994, I was the representative of ISDE. Ten years later, I published my book “The Bhopal Saga – Causes and Consequences of the World’s Largest Industrial Disaster”, based on material that already was published. When the Sambhavna Trust and Clinic was founded, I was appointed as a medical advisor. Since Sambhavna inaugurated its new building, I stay in the guestrooms during my visits in Bhopal. Here it is clean and silent, with a garden, better than the hotels in Old Bhopal. Also, this gives me a reason to support Sambhavna economically. The royalty for “The Bhopal Saga” goes to Sambhavna Clinic.

During my frequent stays in Bhopal, I have become a close friend of this family, including the daughters, who are now married but live in the neighbourhood. I am regarded as a family member, and I regard them as my extended family. We use to say that they have adopted me as a “grandmother”. The grown up members of the family are gas victims, but they have not taken part in any activities against Union Carbide, Dow or the Government of India or Madhya Pradesh. When I first met them, in 1994, there was only one grandchild. Now there are eight. For two of the children, I pay the school fees so they can attain a good school. The eldest grandchild, a girl now 14, visited me here in Sweden for five weeks in May this year. I hope being able to support her through university. My stay in Bhopal in February this year was my ordinary yearly visit. At this time, we also arranged the visa application for the girl. As she is not used to travelling, I came back in May to bring her here. Back she went by herself. My planned third visit this year was because the girl’s grandmother suddenly died in September. She was the family’s strong person, and she was also the one with the steady income. The two daughters have now appointed me as their “mother”. I wanted to take part in the mourning, and I wanted to see in what way (except economically) I can support them. About the visa application Never before, during these 14 years, have I had any difficulties to get my visa. The last time I got it was in January this year. Since then, I have done the following three things: In February, I joined the protest march to Delhi for the first couple of kilometres. Then I signed a list to show my support to those who marched. In May, I visited their camp in Delhi for ten minutes. To me, it seems very strange that my activities this year would be the basis of denying me a visa to India. India is the world’s largest democracy. As far as I know, demonstrations are allowed, like in Sweden. In November, I expect Swedish media to contact me on behalf of the Bhopal disaster. The fact that I might be denied a visa will of course draw some extra attention.

  • 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.

  • 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.

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.
