SHILLONG: The various Dorbar Shnong of Nongthymmai had an interactive session with officials of three departments on Friday on issues ranging from erratic water supply to protection of traditional water sources and delay in the implementation of the GSWSS phase 3.
The session chaired by Nongthymmai legislator Jemino Mawthoh also deliberated on ways to ensure synergy between the different departments and effective participation on the part of the general public with regards to water usage and management.
Mawthoh informed that prior to the interactive session, joint inspections were conducted by representatives of the various Dorbar Shnong and the Government Departments in areas which are identified as being critical.
“The water sources visited have almost dried up and are unprotected with no sign of intervention from any quarter. Besides, people continue to wash clothes, take bath and picknickers pollute the water sources totally disregarding the consumers. Since there is no treatment of spring water, everyone seems to be oblivious to the consequences,” the Nongthymmai legislator said.
He also said that the complacency of all those who are at the helm of affairs and even the general public has compounded the problem.
