SHILLONG, May 9: The project to treat wastewater through in-situ nallah (natural drainage) treatment technology in Shillong seems to be going nowhere. On Friday, some photographs showing a huge pile of garbage lying next to the constructed drain went viral on social media. People commented that the construction seems to be useless.
The wastewater treatment project taken up under the Shillong Smart City project focused on natural drainage treatment technology. This project aimed to improve water quality and address issues like blockages in drainage systems and contribute to a cleaner, more livable city.
The official website of the Shillong Smart City says that the project is completed.
When contacted, Commissioner and Secretary of Urban Affairs, Vijay Kumar D., said a detailed press release would be issued on Monday.
