Solution
- Increasing industrialisation and rapid economic growth have led to severe environmental problems.
- Several industrial processes generate a lot of waste and agricultural practices disturb the balance of nature. To save the ecosystem, the state can adopt legal and administrative measures.
- For example, the Environment (Protection) Act provides for control of hazardous substances.
- Similarly, The Forest (Conservation) Act has strict provisions for checking the diversion of forest land for any other purpose.
