The Green Task Force has started a waste interception drive to shield Meghalaya’s hydropower reservoir from pollution. Officials say the reservoir is at risk due to accumulating waste.
The Green Task Force (GTF) announced the launch of a waste interception drive aimed at protecting Meghalaya’s hydropower reservoir. The initiative comes after concerns were raised that waste accumulation could threaten the reservoir’s safety and operational efficiency.
Officials explained that the drive will focus on trapping solid waste before it enters the water body, thereby reducing pollution risks. The effort is part of broader measures to maintain the quality of water used for hydroelectric power generation.
Meghalaya’s hydropower reservoir plays a key role in supplying electricity to the region. Safeguarding it from waste is seen as essential to ensure uninterrupted power supply and environmental health.
