In the making since 2021, the four-part mini-series, inspired by the real-life events of the railway workers, who saved thousands of lives during the 1984 gas leak tragedy in Bhopal, and produced by YRF entertainment, \u2018The Railway Men\u2019<\/em> premiered on the streaming giant Netflix earlier this month.<\/p>\n

Acclaimed actor Kay Kay Menon portrays Iftekaar Siddiqui, the character inspired by the unsung hero of the accident,\u00a0Ghulam Dastagir, the deputy station superintendent of the Bhopal Junction railway station in 1984 when Methyl Isocyanate was leaked from the Union Carbide India Limited (UCIL) plant in the city.<\/p>\n

However, the son of Ghulam Dastagir, Shadab, is not happy with the portrayal of his father in the series, without the due credit. He urged the makers to rectify their mistakes and re-release the show, with a necessary tribute to the unsung hero of the tragedy.<\/p>\n
