Which event/s led to enforcement of Environment (Protection) Act, 1986?
Answer: C
The Environment (Protection) Act of 1986 was passed after the Bhopal gas tragedy of December 1984, in which a leak of methyl isocyanate from a pesticide plant killed thousands, and it was enacted under Article 253 to give effect to the decisions of the Stockholm Conference of 1972. Environmental degradation and ozone depletion are general concerns, but the event that led to the Act is the Bhopal gas tragedy. The answer is option C. The Act gave the central government wide powers to take measures to protect and improve the environment and to prevent and control pollution.
