State Pollution Control Board submits report to Govt
SHILLONG: The mineral-rich Jaintia Hills district faces an acute drinking water crisis as water from its major rivers has been declared ‘unfit’ for human consumption due to high level of acidity caused by unscientific mining. The rivers downstream of coal mining areas and cement plants have turned blue five years back, a phenomenon baffling even environmental scientists of the State.
