A memorandum of understanding has been signed today between Thoubal River Pollution Control Committee and contractors quarrying red sand at the area that they should find a way not to pollute the river.
Speaking to news persons, Member of the Committee, T Somorjit said, as per the MoU the contractors have to find a way within five days not to pollute the river while extracting the red sand.
They should willingly face any step taken up by the Committee if they do not comply.
Washing of red sand in the river made the water much polluted and unfit for use.
Earlier it was fit for use in the evening after the water was dirtied by flood, however, observing the present condition it might not be fit for use even after a week, he added.
