It means that unless a regulatory framework is designed, all voluntary efforts to clean cities and rivers are in vain4). All of the above |

Answer» What the author wants to point out is that although voluntary efforts are much appreciated, but true results and changes will be achieved only when the Government agencies take POLLUTION seriously. Like making beaches plastic free is commendable, but if government IMPOSES BAN on plastic manufacturing, that will have far reaching results. It is in the statement ''valuable as they are, voluntary efforts cannot achieve what systemic reform can. It is the Centre’s responsibility to ensure that the Environment (Protection) Act, the overarching law that enables anti-pollution rules to be issued, is implemented in letter and spirit. Ideally, REGULATION should help stop the manufacture of single-use plastic articles such as carry BAGS and cutlery, and encourage the use of biodegradable materials.'' Hence option 1 is correct. |
