Solution

Kolkata-Hooghly industrial region is experiencing a decline and stagnation due to many reasons. They include:

  • Congestion
  • Traffic jam
  • Paucity of space
  • Insanitation
  • Shortage of drinking water
  • Civic amenities and environmental pollution.
Apart from the above reasons, Hooghly River is causing silting of the port making transportation difficult.
