The official, Noboru Ueno, said during the ceremony, ‘‘We cannot forget that day,’’ pledging that subway workers will continue safety efforts to honor those lost in the incident.
On March 20, 1995, senior members of the Aum Shinrikyo cult, now known as Aleph, released sarin at five stations on three central Tokyo subway lines. The attacks took the lives of 12 people, including two subway workers at Kasumigaseki Station in Tokyo’s Chiyoda Ward, and sickened more than 5,500 others.
