'Implementation is key'

"Unless we implement what we have decided, we can't achieve our goals. Countries such as US and UK implement the laws ruthlessly. We have decided to give importance to the implementation aspect of the industry, and we want to see the disaster management preparedness of the industries," he said.

'Growth needs to be matched with disaster resilience'

Kamal Kishore, Member, National Disaster Management Authority, Government of India said, "The ambitious target of making India a $5 trillion economy cannot be achieved without significant investment in the growth of chemical and industrial activities in the country.
