Answer:
Explanation:
It is an unfortunate story of India that most of the rivers are polluted beyond the acceptable norms. It also contaminates the groundwater surrounding it. Rivers and any water body for that matter have the right not to be polluted. They are of scientific and biological importance.
In the above-mentioned case, there are a few rights laid down by the Indian Constitution. According to the right of life, 'no person shall be deprived of his life or personal liberty except according to procedure established by law.' In view of this write the environment ecologically, water is violated in Article 21 of the Indian Constitution. The right to receive clean drinking water is also included in the same right.
In the above case, the ‘Right to life’ is being violated. The name of the river, the location of the river along with the injury caused by the pollutant must be carefully noted down. The concerned factory can be held liable for harming, and adequate compensation can be paid.
