Justice Thaker in his speech said that the menace of environmental pollution can't be curbed only with legislation. The action plans have to be rigorously followed by the people at large. The gaps between legislation and implementation will have to be narrowed. A cumulative effort will make us an environment friendly nation.

In his address the BCI Chairman advised the new lawyers to raise and fight for the environmental issues through PILs for getting the dual benefit of 'serving the society' as well as getting the much needed 'name and fame' during their days of initial struggle.
