The Himalayan Cleanup Campaign At Dainthlen In Sohra Today

SHILLONG: The Department of Environment & Traditional Ecosystems, Martin Luther Christian University, Shillong, under the banner of Meghalaya Integrated Mountain Development Initiative (MIMDI), Shillong in collaboration with the office of the State Mission Director, Swachh Bharat Mission, Meghalaya, will be conducting “The Himalayan Cleanup” campaign on May 25 at Dainthlen in Sohra to make a tangible difference to the cause of solid waste management in the Himalayan region.

MIMDI will join hands with the State chapters of Integrated Mountain Initiative (IMI) in all the eleven States including the north-eastern region on that day to create awareness on the ill-effects of single use plastics.

The event forms a part of the community engagement initiatives where waste collection, segregation and brand auditing of the waste collected from the area would be carried out to ascertain the degree of pollution caused by the non-biodegradable products and the brands contributing mostly to it. The department had carried out such an exercise last year in Police Bazaar area and its findings were presented subsequently to the Ministry of Environment, Forest & Climate Change.
