Members of the reconstituted Group of Ministers on the Bhopal gas leak disaster today favoured enhanced compensation as one of the key ingredients of a healing touch package but agreed to take it up along with all other issues in back-to-back meetings over the weekend before finalising its report on Monday.
Making it clear that no aspect would be sidestepped or left pending — an assertion that former Union Carbide chief Warren Anderson’s extradition too was a live issue — Union Home Minister P Chidambaram, who now heads the GoM, told reporters that the GoM was proceeding in the right direction.
“We are looking at them separately and then we will take a comprehensive view,” Chidambaram said, adding that the GoM was determined to address all issues, including relief, rehabilitation and remediation.
He said the ministerial panel will meet in two sessions tomorrow and on Sunday. “On Monday, we should be able to finalise the recommendations. We will give our best and most sympathetic consideration to all these people who have suffered as a result of this tragedy,” he said
