Following the Bhopal gas tragedy, 36 out of the then 56 wards we-re declared as gas-affected.
It was decided in principle to include the rest 20 wards in the category, Singh told PTI in an interview. Though no time frame could be set as yet, there were no problems in making the move except for some procedural difficulties, Singh, who is a member of the central committee formed for gas victims, said.
In the past, a demand for including 20 wards in list of gas-affected wards has been raised by the gas victims and organisations fighting for their cause in the state. (PTI)
