SHILLONG: Finalisation of the proposed water policy is likely to take some more time as the Water Resources department still in the process of re-circulating the draft to the various departments.

“We have decided to re-circulate the draft to all Government departments. We would want them to restudy the draft if they have any additional suggestions and views which can be incorporated,” a senior government official said here on Thursday.

The senior government official said they would not like to rush in the finalisation of the draft since it was a very important policy for protection of various water bodies “We had earlier put the draft of the policy in the public domain inviting views and suggestions. We are happy to see that many individuals and groups have come forward with their views and suggestions,” the official said.

When asked about the status of the water policy, he said that they have completed compiling the views and suggestions of the various stakeholders including the recommendations of the various Government departments.

Meanwhile, the official said that the State Government has roped in German International Cooperation (GIZ) as a technical partner to formulate the State Water Policy.

According to the official, the German agency had worked in several countries and assisted in formulating similar policies.

When asked about the status of the water policy, he said that they have completed compiling the views and suggestions of the various stakeholders including the recommendations of the various Government departments.
