Thoubal, May 30 2024:
Large deposits of waste materials including plastic refuse brought by the current of Wangjing River were extracted with the help of heavy machinery yesterday.
It may be noted that due to incessant rainfall, the wa ter level of Wangjing River, which passes through Wangjing and Tentha in Thoubal district, rose significantly.
Large deposits of waste materials swept downstream by the river current became lodged at the wooden bridge and simple suspension bridge/rope bridge across the river.
The garbage deposit hampered the flow of water, which then overflowed over the river bank.
In view of such dangerous circumstances, a team led by DC Thoubal A Subhash inspected the vulnerable areas in Tentha and fished out the waste materials with the help of a JCB.
