CURBING PLASTIC TOURISM
Tourist traffic in Shillong and different parts of the state have recorded an increase, especially during current summer season, where people would love to see and singing in the monsoon rains, especially in the Sohra region. However, many tourist spots in the state are littered with plastic waste, which is an eye sore and caught the attention of the government. The State Government would be imposing Section 144 CrPC, prohibiting use of polythene, as a means to check plastic waste. As most of the tourist spots are run by village durbars and private societies, an official order would be issued to keep tourist spots spotless clean, keeping up the name of Mawlynnong, being the cleanest village in the country and continent.
