Govt alone not responsible
for environment : Jaiswal
June 05, 2005
The onus of save environment does not rest on the government alone
and unless joint and concerted efforts are made in this direction
it will remain an exercise in futility. It is also true that very

shift reponsibilities. He said in case the people do not wake
up to this problem then they would be doing injustice to future
generation.
