Task force to monitor water quality in city

SHILLONG: A task force committee has been formed by the government to monitor water quality following the recommendation of a government panel to provide clean water to residents.
PHE Minister Prestone Tynsong told reporters on Friday that the government decided to notify the task force headed by additional chief engineer to monitor the quality of water round the clock.
Earlier, the State Development Reforms Commission (SDRC) said that though the water in Mawphlang reservoir was found to be apparently clean, the sample of water collected and physically inspected by the Commission from the twin reservoirs at 4½ Mile was found to be oily and muddy. The water from the twin reservoirs is directly transported to the feeder lines located in different parts of the city.
