First photos from Bhopal

This is a photo I took from the corner of Berasia Road and Union Carbide Road, a five minute walk from where I am. These are the people that live adjacent to the still piled-with-poison Union Carbide plant site and where drinking the water has serious effects on health. The majority of patients lined up here at Sambhavna have come because of the effects of that water.



This is one of the old drinking water pumps on Union Carbide Road, painted red (very late) as a warning that the water was toxic. They have even more recently been de-activated and better water is brought in by trucks and dumped in a few barrel-shaped plastic tanks that sit on the sidewalk.
