"Such tragedy should never take place in any city of the world and development should never take place at the cost of human being's existence," he said after watching its premiere at a local Cineplex on the occasion of 30th anniversary of the world's worst industrial disaster in which thousand of people lost their life following a gas leak from a factory.
Chouhan also praised the director and actors of the film for their "heart-rending" performance.
