Bhopal tragedy: Protest against removing FCRA registration of Sambhavna Trust Clinic
The Statesman Delhi|January 02, 2025
Even as the 337 metric ton toxic waste lying abandoned for 40 years after the 1984 Bhopal gas tragedy at Union Carbide factory in Bhopal is almost ready to be finally removed and sent for incineration, members of the Sambhavna Trust Clinic have begun an indefinite protest alleging that the Union government is not clearing the ban on the Trust's Foreign Contribution (Regulation) Act (FCRA) registration.

According to the Trust's staff members, the clinic provides free medical treatment to around 37,000 registered gas tragedy survivors suffering from various ailments due to the exposure to Methyl Isocyanate (MIC) gas that caused the tragedy.

The protesters said the Trust receives donations from India and abroad for the free services and the average expenditure incurred annually for treatment of gas victims is around Rs 3.5 crore.

They alleged that due to the government's ban on the Trust's FCRA registration, the foreign funding has stopped and the Trust is facing a severe financial crisis.
