civil Liability for Nuclear Damages bill

civil Liability for Nuclear Damages bill

The civil Liability for Nuclear Damages bill would shortly be introduced in the House of Commons in our country and is considered a damaging bill to the sovereignty of the country...

Some objectionable provisions of the bills sets, limited liability against the owner of the nuclear processing plant for any kind of nuclear accidents if happens in our country at these plants, these provisions allows any culprit person liable of INDUSTRIAL NEGLIGENCE and causing accidents to get away just by monetarily compensating and hiding behind the provisions of this bill. The bill says that if any kind of unfortunate nuclear accident occurs in any nuclear plant the, the company will have to pay 500 crores as compensation and rest would be barred by the Government of India {means the money given by us as tax would be used for somebody else’s mistake},the bill seems to be made, PARTICULARLY to oblige some foreign companies,

I do agree that the government must be doing it to attract foreign investors to set up costly nuclear plants in our country, but this bill will make them negligent as they would be concernedless regarding lives of people, and concertrate more on profit…

This bill in my view is unconstitutional and would infring the fundamental rights of the citizens of the country

I fear that if any Industrial Calamity takes place, this time, it would be more painful then the horrible night that Bhopal Faced in the ‘Bhopal Gas tragedy’ on 3^rd December 1984 with which Bhopal is still fighting and the owner of the ‘union carbide’ fled away just by giving money and no criminal charges were put against him…

I am Afraid that this BILL if becomes an ACT would be hazardous both for public and economy of India…
