Dear student,

Here is the answer:

Out of 130 million hectares of degraded land in India 6 percent is
affected by saline and alkaline deposit In states of Punjab,
Haryana and western Uttar Pradesh over irrigation leads to land
degradation This increases salinity and alkalinity of soil Mineral
processing like grinding of limestone, calcite and soapstone of
ceramic industry and industrial effluents are also major source of
land degradation
