SHILLONG, April 11: The state government has assured the High Court of Meghalaya that no construction will be allowed to commence or continue near any of the water bodies, particularly the Umiam Lake.
During the hearing of a PIL, the state submitted before the court that model guidelines for maintaining the sanctity of the water bodies are being drafted together with guidelines pertaining to license or permission being granted to construct near such water bodies.
The state also informed the court that aquatic experts have also been inducted into the expert committee for preservation of water bodies.
Later, the court fixed the next hearing on the matter after six weeks.
