US activist Bill McKibben, organizer of the recent Peoples Climate March, and M Ilango, Chairman of the National Fishworkers Forum a trade union of 3 lakh fishworkers along with five of his colleagues visited Jantar Mantar to express solidarity with the Bhopal protestors.
 
The five organizations said that they had started their agitation on the current demands with a dharna at Jantar Mantar on July 25, 2010, more than four years back.
 
The organizations are demanding additional compensation to all survivors of the disaster and revision of figures of disaster related death and injury in the Curative petition filed by the central government in the Supreme Court.
