Bhopal is observing 32nd anniversary of gas leak tragedy on Saturday as on the intervening night of December 2 and 3 in 1984, several hundred people were killed and scores of people were maimed for life when the Methyl Isocyanate gas was leaked from the pesticide plant of Union Carbide.

Even after 32 years, the victims of Bhopal gas tragedy are facing problems like proper medical facilities, better living conditions and employment.
