        Some corporation leaders have taken advantage of the relaxed environmental laws in the country by creating lots of pollution
        
        The conditions for workers in factories can be very harsh
        
        Many TNCs are owned by foreign countries so economic leakage occurs, where profit is sent abroad
        
        the best jobs are often given to foreign workers from the TNC's country of origin

        The quality of the environment has a direct impact on the health and wellbeing of residents. The National Green Tribunal is an environmental court that was set up in India in 2010. It deals with issues of environmental protection and conservation and it can make companies and individuals pay compensation under the 'polluter pays' principle. India is the third country to have this type of system (Australia and New Zealand have similar systems).
