Remembering Bhopal: My Face on the Hindustan Times and the Decades Long Fight for Justice

What a powerful milestone to be featured on the front page of Hindustan Times for the 30th anniversary of the Bhopal disaster.

This piece provided me with a platform to spotlight the untold stories and struggles that still linger in Bhopal decades after the tragedy. Being part of this coverage not only validated the pressing need for attention but also allowed me to shed light on the urgent issue of environmental justice. My commitment to documenting the lives of those affected by Bhopal began as an endeavour to bring awareness to the devastating health effects and living conditions that survivors still face.

The 30th-anniversary piece highlighted the ongoing battle against toxic contamination, showcasing the resilience of Bhopal’s children and families. It opened up a conversation on industrial negligence, systemic abandonment, and the critical need for long-term solutions to heal a community still bearing the scars of one of the worst industrial disasters in history.

This feature in Hindustan Times was more than just a moment of recognition—it was a call to action, reminding readers that the Bhopal disaster is not just a distant historical event but a current, living crisis. For my readers, it serves as a testament to the power of journalism and the role each of us plays in advocating for change.
