In view of 35^th Anniversary of Bhopal gas tragedy, Bhopal Archdiocese organized a prayer service here at Pastoral Centre, Arera Colony for the victims of gas tragedy by spending two minutes silence followed by suitable hymns with reflection and lighting of the candles.   

Archbishop Leo Cornelio SVD said in his message that more awareness towards any human tragedy is in need of the hour. It is observed that the victims of the tragedy continue to suffer without end. Humanities should extend material, spiritual and psychological support to uplift the victims who feel helpless and hopeless in their lives, he added.

Fr. Maria Stephen, the P.R.O. asked the people to become the environmental conscious to spread love, peace and prosperity. The beautiful creation is a gift of God and destroying environment for the sake of human survival is a poisonous Gift to the Giver, he added. Killing others for the sake of one’s own success is a crime to the humanity and this crime destroys the very intention and the purpose of God’s creation, he continued.

There were many laity and Social workers besides the staff of Public Relations Office were present for the homage to the victims on 35^th anniversary of gas tragedy.
