Villagers clean Doyang dam reservoir of floating waste
1 2 Dimapur: In an effort to keep the Doyang dam reservoir in Wokha district pollution free and promote a healthier environment, the Doyang Land Owners Union, in collaboration with North Eastern Electric Power Corporation Ltd, took up a cleanliness drive at Doyang reservoir, removing a large quantity of plastic waste, floating waste, and logs. Neighbouring villages of the Doyang Hydro Electric Project (DHEP) and other bodies such as UBC Doyang, St Thomas Catholic church, Lotha Hoho Doyang, Esanphen village, Thillong village, Wondang village, and other concerned public, besides state police and central forces personnel, also took part in the initiative on Saturday. The DHEP, located in the Doyang river, is the only major river dam in Nagaland. John Zeliang, executive director and head of plant Doyang, who was present at the site, expressed his happiness that the Land Owners Union, churches and the public took the initiative to clean up the dam area. "We cannot solve the environmental issue by money or technology alone. It requires the will of the people and participation of every individual," he said. Stating that Doyang river gets a lot of floating debris coming from the catchment areas, he stressed that cleaning up Doyang reservoir alone will not work. "We have to do lifestyle changes in catchment areas to keep our areas, land, gardens and everything clean, especially those wastes which do not biodegrade," Zeliang added. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Could This NEW Collagen Blend Finally Reduce Your Cellulite?
