No end to victims' sufferings even after 30 years of Bhopal gas tragedy : North, News - India Today: "Thirty years later, the tragedy of that industrial disaster lingers like in the case of Alfez. The victims have become the unmistakable scars of the tragedy. It is not just the old but the young also bear the scourge of the toxic leak even today.

Cases of babies born with severe birth defects are on rise, doctors and activists claim. According to the activists and organisations working for the welfare of the Bhopal gas tragedy victims, the reason behind the birth of children with defects is due to their families' exposure to toxic chemicals that poisoned the entire area and contaminated groundwater.

"There are at least 1,000 of these cases where children have been born with severe birth defects since the gas tragedy. The cases of second and third generation gas victims are rising by each day," Convenor of Bhopal Gas Peedit Mahila Udyog Sangathan, Abdul Jabbar alleges."
