The High Court of Meghalaya, too, had recently remarked that “several of the rivers, including the Umkhrah in Shillong itself, are carrying such contaminated water that they may not be fit even to step into. Elsewhere, rivers and streams which may not be perennial carry so much filth and dirt that people living downstream are deprived of the use of the water altogether.”
