A play on Bhopal Gas Tragedy 'Ek Aur Traasadi' or 'One more tragedy' is based on real stories of real people with real names.
'Hazra Bee' points to the coninuing pollution and contamination of ground and water by the abandoned plant of UCIL which still has 690 tonnes of toxic chemicals in the dumping yard which soaks into the breast and womb of Bhopal's women and the second generation of children in Bhopal are born with mental and physical challenges..
'Chacha' is the story of thousands of persons who came under the cloud of the poisonous gas who were left to live a long life marred with permanent, irreversible damages and diseases. People who could not earn their livelihoods and forced to live a life of poverty and helplessness.
'Wo Bacche' is the story of the girls who were born or affected by the gas. The unsaid and hushed talks regarding problems related to periods, birth complications, cancer etc. and how it has bcome a curse for the girls from Bhopal.
