Be cautious about corporate crime: Dr. Satinath
Mangaluru, Dec 22: The Bhopal Gas tragedy has taught the country a lot of lessons about corporate crime. It would be similar to inviting another such disaster if people do not become cautious about this, warned Dr. Satinath Sarangi, an activist fighting for justice for the Bhopal gas tragedy victims.
He was addressing students at a programme jointly organised by St. Aloysius College's Social Work Department and Karavali Karnataka Janabhivruddhi Vedike on the college premises on Saturday.
I recalled Bhopal tragedy while visiting the areas near MRPL previous day. A repository of petroleum products is located there. An overwhelming impact on the environment is visible after looking at the surrounding water bodies there. A comprehensive study regarding this should be conducted by departments concerned. People should wake up, he said.
"But the disparity in the design, location, and management of the Bhopal factory had led to disaster. Some of the decisions made by the company to reduce its costs killed thousands of people. This tragedy was not accidental. Instead, it was a corporate crime," he added.
The people of Mangaluru should wake up and ask their representatives if they want such corporate crimes do not recur.
The principal of St. Aloysius College F. Praveen Martis presided over the programme. Vedike's spokesperson TR Bhatt anchored the programme. Vidya Dinakar was present.
