 The National Pollution Control Day is celebrated every year on 2nd of December in India in order to give the honour and memorialize the thousands of human beings who had lost their existence because of the Bhopal gas calamity.

The Bhopal Gas Tragedy of 1984 killed thousands and seriously damaged the health of at least 50000 more people. Remembering that disaster serves to remind us how negligence or inattention in risky tasks can lead to catastrophic results, and how each individual must be aware and alert to the hazards inherent in such occurrences.
