India's industrialization has caused environmental damage due to accidents, resulting in 2,500 deaths and 8,500 injuries. A recent research paper highlights the need for a national-level database to track environmental damage and stricter safety regulations to ensure sustainable growth. The Bhopal tragedy is an example of the long-term effects of industrial accidents, with mercury levels 561 times higher than the national standard. Accountability and safety standards are key to mitigating environmental damage.
