SHILLONG: As part of the efforts to maintain cleanliness of the water source located at Umshing Umsohlang, Mawlai MLA and MDC Embhah Syiemlieh inspected the water source on Wednesday with a purpose to look into the shifting of the drain carrying filthy water from flowing to the clean stream.

Accompanied by chairman of the Mawlai Town Dorbar, SD Khongwir, Syiemlieh’s inspection came after people of various parts of Mawlai who get their water supply from that source, have complained of the unfit condition of drinking water.
