AP, New Delhi :
An Indian rapper is targeting Dow Chemical with rhymes – demanding the U.S. company pay more in victims’ compensation and environmental damages stemming from a horrific chemical gas leak that killed thousands of people and sickened countless others.
Sofia Ashraf debuted “Dow vs. Bhopal: a Toxic Rap Battle” last month, calling the story of what happened in the central Indian city of Bhopal “a critical message to get out there.”
The 1984 tragedy, considered the world’s worst industrial accident, was caused by 40 tons of deadly methyl isocyanate gas leaking from a pesticide plant run by Union Carbide Corp. – later purchased by Dow Chemical.
