The Bhopal Gallery

As fast as the authorities can move graffiti from around Bhopal it reappears. This graffiti, calling for Warren Anderson to be hung, is outside a cinema in the centre of Bhopal. Anderson was the CEO of Union Carbide at the time of the disaster in 1984.

Graffiti on the walls of the derelict Union Carbide factory.

Graffiti at the BGPMUS' meeting place.

A woman's survivor's group (the BGPMUS) has held an open air meeting every week for the last twelve years. They used to get several thousand women twice a week but now they only manage a hundred or so once a week.

A crowd gathers to prevent the memorial being moved from its position on the outskirts of JP Nagar. In what Abdul Jabar saw as a political coup the state government had allowed the statue to be move inside the factory walls. However, a group from JP Nagar, the slum that bore the worst of the disaster, insisted that the statue was theirs by right and a new one should be made for the factory site.
