This is a story of justice denied. On February 13, 1996, the Supreme Court, the highest seat of justice in the country, ruled that five units of a particular company, producing toxic chemicals in Bichhri village in Rajasthan's Udaipur district, be shut down. In reality, the main errant units had already been closed for the last five years...people's protests and NGO action had forced them to scoot. But not before they had completely poisoned the aquifer. Today, there is no drinking water from natural sources for either the humans or the animals of Bichhri. Agriculture has touched rock bottom. Every monsoon, rainwater rushes over the sludge, and more toxic chemicals seep into the aquifer. The water has become carcinogenic. The villagers had been waiting for the last seven years for compensation. But none is coming forth...the Court has told them that they will have to file writs once again in local courts. There is confusion. There is also anger. And there seems to be no one, anywhere, to turn to. Meanwhile, the same company has shifted base and is merrily doing an encore in Vapi, Gujarat, arrogantly confident that no one can touch it
