'The Bhopal disaster brought the issue of environment to the forefront'. Explain.

Solution

The Bhopal disaster brought the issue of environment to the forefront: 
Several thousands of persons who were not associated with the factory in any way were greatly affected because of the poisonous gases leaked from the plant. This made people realise that the existing laws, though weak, only covered the individual worker and not persons who might be injured due to industrial accidents.
