To mark the 40th anniversary of the devastating Bhopal chemical disaster, three US Senators—Jeff Merkley, Ron Wyden, and Peter Welch—have introduced a resolution proposing December 3 as National Chemical Disaster Awareness Day, as per PTI reports.

The resolution, introduced in the Senate, acknowledges the relentless efforts of the survivors of the 1984 Bhopal tragedy in advocating for global awareness and accountability to prevent future chemical disasters. It seeks to honour their courage and commitment while encouraging broader public understanding of the catastrophic impact such incidents can have, PTI reports.
