What we know
Forty-two years after the 1984 Bhopal gas tragedy, contaminated groundwater and compensation disputes remain.
The toxic waste was moved to Pithampur only in January 2025, amid protests there.
Open questions
- What do the latest tests of groundwater around the old factory site show, and who is drinking it?
- How many compensation claims are still disputed, and what do the survivors receive?
- How is the waste being handled at Pithampur, and are the results public?
