An introduction to the events on the night of the Bhopal Gas Tragedy at Bhopal Junction railway station.

• At midnight on December 3, 1984, a poisonous gas leak occurred at the Union Carbide factory in Bhopal.
• The gas spread rapidly across the city, causing sore throats and burning eyes among the citizens, including railway staff.
• Deputy Station Superintendent Ghulam Dastagir discovered his superior, H.S. Bhurvey, had passed away due to the gas.

Immediate actions taken by Ghulam Dastagir at Bhopal Junction to protect passengers and aid the affected.

• Dastagir ordered the Gorakhpur-Bombay Express to depart early for the safety of the passengers onboard.
• As the senior-most person present, he assumed full responsibility for breaking protocol and expedited the train's departure.
• The station became crowded with people seeking refuge from the gas, showing signs of distress such as coughing and vomiting.

Chaos at Bhopal Junction and hospitals due to the gas leak, with a growing number of affected individuals seeking help.

• Dastagir made an SOS call leading to ambulances and medical staff arriving at the station to aid the affected.
• At the same time, many headed to the hospitals, overwhelming the medical staff who were unfamiliar with the symptoms.

The medical response to the crisis was hampered by the lack of information on the gas and its treatment.

• Doctors and hospital staff struggled to identify the illness or its cause, and the Union Carbide factory provided little helpful information.
• The Superintendent of Police's calls to the factory initially received assurances that all was well, but later, the factory staff expressed uncertainty.

Continued efforts and sacrifices made by the railway staff, particularly Ghulam Dastagir, during the unfolding tragedy.

• Despite Dastagir's efforts, aiding people became difficult, and he learned that his senior, H.S. Bhurvey, had also died.
• Dastagir chose to stay at the station to help others instead of checking on his own family, who lived near the factory.

• Union Carbide's medical director, Bipin Awasia, initially recommended sodium thiosulfate for cyanide poisoning but later retracted the statement.
• The company issued a statement emphasizing that MIC degrades naturally, causing further delay in proper treatment.

Ongoing confusion regarding the treatment of the gas-affected patients and the eventual acceptance of sodium thiosulfate.

• Despite evidence of cyanide poisoning in autopsies, government authorities were reluctant to use sodium thiosulfate.
