Know why this big decision was taken and what is the main reason behind it
According to information received from the Mawlynnong Village Council and local diplomatic sources, due to the millions of tourists arriving here every year, there was increasing pressure on the environment of the village and the personal lives of the residents there. The local administration says that the people of the village are busy hosting tourists throughout the week and making the village shine like glass. In such a situation, Sunday has been reserved entirely for the local community. On this day, the villagers will spend time with their families, attend traditional church prayers and most importantly, the entire village will come together to conduct a Community Cleaning Drive so that this global heritage of village cleanliness can be maintained forever.
Meghalaya’s diplomatic step to promote environmental protection and eco-tourism
From the geographical and local optimization point of view, East Khasi Hills district of Meghalaya is known for its sensitive eco-system. The villagers have taken this diplomatic decision in view of excessive commercialization and the increasing threat of plastic waste. The elders of the village believe that tourism is definitely a source of employment for them, but they cannot pursue it at the expense of nature and their culture. This decision will give time to the environment to recharge and the wildlife and local flora will get a day’s diplomatic respite from human interference. This unique initiative is now being greatly appreciated by environmentalists.
