What can a citizen do to prevent and control pollution ?
A. A citizen can do much by adopting a code of conduct for himself to desist from all activity which may pollute the environment. He can also bring to the notice of the authorities including GPCB about the violation of laws meant to protect environment. He can also sensitize the neighborhood about the right practices for preventing the damage to environment through Neighborhood Associations, Voluntary Organizations etc. In extra-ordinary situation, citizens have the legal right to approach the Court of Law after giving 60 days notice to GPCB in the prescribed format.
