Bhopal gas survivors end dharna

NEW DELHI: Bhopal gas leak survivors ended their four-month-long dharna here on Friday after the Centre formally announced the setting up of an Empowered Commission and promised legal action on the civil and criminal liabilities of Union Carbide and Dow Chemicals.

Thousands of people died when a toxic gas leaked out of the Union Carbide plant in the Madhya Pradesh capital in December 1984. The company has since merged with Dow Chemicals.
