SHILLONG, May 15: The Meghalaya government will explore the feasibility of using bioremediation techniques to clean the Wahumkhrah.
Bioremediation involves the use of microorganisms to break down harmful substances into less toxic or non-toxic forms in contaminated soil, water, or air. It is a sustainable and eco-friendly approach to environmental cleanup, relying on natural processes rather than harsh chemicals or invasive physical methods.
The proposal was discussed during a meeting between government officials and civil society representatives to deliberate on an action plan for the revival and restoration of the crucial river Umkhrah.
Chief Minister Conrad K Sangma stated that strategic zones would be identified, with enhanced surveillance in vulnerable areas where littering and improper garbage disposal continue to pose major challenges.
While physical cleaning efforts are ongoing alongside improved waste management initiatives, Sangma emphasised that long-term change can only be achieved through consistent community participation.
“Close collaboration with the Dorbar Shnong and the local community will be key to addressing the root causes of pollution,” he added.
