ABSTRACT
This chapter argues the implementation of an all-embracing law, namely Environment Protection Act 1986, which exists, till today in an inverse correlation between myopic profit-making governance and sustainable development. This chapter attempts to focus on the lack of coordination, communication and accountability among different government departments and other authorities in West Bengal that resulted in the increase in all sorts of environmental hazards that becomes evident from the study of Mandarmani, a village on the sea coast of East Midnapore in West Bengal. The author sought to learn lessons from the Mandarmani Sea Beach in West Bengal to develop disaster law.
