Washington : The US has rejected taking any action against the Union Carbide company for the world’s worst industrial disaster that had left over 15,000 people dead and hoped the Indian court verdict in the Bhopal gas tragedy case would bring “closure to the victims”.
“With respect to Bhopal, obviously that was one of the greatest industrial tragedies and industrial accidents in human history.
And let me just say that we hope that this verdict helps to bring some closure to the victims and their families,” Assistant Secretary of State for South and Central Asia, Robert Blake, told reporters at a news conference here.
“But I don’t expect this verdict to reopen any new, you know, inquiries or anything like that.
On the contrary, we hope that this is going to help to bring closure,” Blake told foreign reporters in response to a question.
