The Supreme Court of India has issued notices to top government officials in response to a contempt plea alleging non-compliance with the Apex Court's 2012 directives to improve medical care for Bhopal gas tragedy victims and to computerise their medical records.
Notices have been issued by the Apex Court to the Secretary of the Union Ministry of Health & Family Welfare, the Director General of the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR), the Chief Secretary of Madhya Pradesh, and the Principal Secretary of the Bhopal Gas Tragedy Relief & Rehabilitation Department.
