Solution
- Increasing industrialisation and rapid economic growth have led to severe environmental problems.

- 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.
