On the night of 2–3 December 1984, around 40 tonnes of methyl isocyanate leaked from a pesticide plant in Bhopal. The official immediate death toll was 2,259, and the state government later confirmed 3,787 related deaths; other estimates run several times higher, with hundreds of thousands injured.
The clock: Bhopal keeps UTC+5:30. The site has still not been fully remediated, more than four decades on.
Bhopal lies at 77.4°E. Its time zone, UTC+5:30, is built around the 82.5°E meridian. The 5.1° gap between them means the clock runs roughly 20 minutes ahead of the sun: solar noon arrives at about 12:20 rather than 12:00. The zone holds UTC+5:30 all year — there is no daylight saving here.
The longest day of 2026 is 22 June, with 13h 34m of daylight. The shortest is 22 December, with 10h 42m. The swing between them is 2h 52m. Inside the tropics the day length stays within a narrow band all year.
The earliest sunrise and the latest sunset do not land on the longest day. In Bhopal the sun comes up earliest on 9 June at 05:33, while the latest sunset waits until 5 July at 19:10. The equation of time is what separates them: the Earth's elliptical orbit and axial tilt move solar noon back and forth by several minutes over the year.
The sky stays usably light for a while after the sun goes down. In Bhopal that civil twilight runs about 23 minutes at the equinox.
