Monday 13 February 2012 Government 2.0: The Road Ahead
MP to construct 2,000 houses for gas victims

The new houses being proposed by the state government will be on a larger square feet area comprising two rooms, kitchen and toilet

Bhopal: The Madhya Pradesh government will construct a total of 2,000 houses for the next of kin of victims who died in the world's worst industrial disaster in Bhopal in 1984.

Gas leaking from the now closed plant of the Union Carbide India (UCIL) killed thousands and left many others permanently crippled for life.
 
The government has demanded 25 acres of land from the Bhopal District Administration to take up the housing project for the gas victims.

Currently, the surviving gas victims reside in 2,486 flats with a single room, kitchen, a toilet and a bathroom constructed in the Karond area on the outskirts of the city during early 1990s by the Madhya Pradesh State Housing Board.

There is a spare land of five acres available with the state government in Karond area which was stated inadequate to construct additional houses for more number of gas victims.
 
The new houses being proposed by the state government will be on a larger square feet area comprising two rooms, kitchen and toilet.

The land is being identified within the Bhopal municipal limits so that all the civic amenities could be provided to the residents, official sources here said.
