SHILLONG: Following the mysterious discolouration of the Lukha river, a team was sent by the Meghalaya State Pollution Control Board to collect samples for testing.
Speaking to The Shillong Times, an official said that a team has been sent for collection of sample of the river accompanied by the district administration of East Jaintia Hills. “It will take a week or so to analyse the water sample and get the report”, the official said.
It may be mentioned that the river turned blue again a few days back although it reverted to its normal colour during the lockdown.
With the river getting discoloured again, the KSU
Narpuh Circle in its complaint filed against the contamination of Lukha river in East Jaintia Hills at Lumshnong Police Station.
With the lockdown in place and cement factories closed, the quality of the water had improved. However, as soon as the Central government decided to allow cement factories to reopen, the river changed its colour again killing all aquatic life, the KSU said in its complaint.
