Industries give jobs and improve economy.
But smoke and waste from industries cause air pollution.
Example: In cities like Delhi, industrial smoke mixes with vehicle smoke, increasing pollution.

People migrate to cities in search of jobs and better life.
But if they don’t find proper houses, they build slums.
Example: In Mumbai, many poor people live in slums like Dharavi due to migration.

Cities have hospitals, schools, roads, and markets as amenities.
But when people don’t get jobs or houses, some turn to crime.
