Despite government initiatives and notices issued to over 100 polluting companies, industrial pollution remains a critical challenge due to lack of strict enforcement. https://otvkhabar.in/odisha/world-environment-day-highlights-odishas-growing-pollution-and-public-health-crisis-12006100 #creator program
