Rapid industrialization has resulted in the generation of huge quantities of hazardous waste, both solid and liquid.

Despite regulatory guidelines and pollution control measures, industrial waste is being dumped on land and discharged into water bodies without adequate treatment.

This gross misconduct creates serious environmental and public health hazards.
