Union Minister for Communications and Development of the North Eastern Region Jyotiraditya M. Scindia described his recent visit to the Mawmluh Cave in Sohra as a deeply spiritual and symbolic experience, calling it “a subterranean archive of Earth’s memory.”
A prominent American paleoclimatologist has called for the Meghalayan Age, a subdivision of Earth’s recent history formally named after Meghalaya, to be scrapped from the official geological time scale.
a striking environmental phenomenon has been noticed in Meghalaya’s Mawmluh Cave, where pollutants such as cloth, plastic, and aluminium items have undergone calcification, integrating into the cave’s geological features. This phenomenon highlights the unintended consequences of pollution in a globally significant geological site.
Chief Minister Conrad K. Sangma recently said awareness would be raised about the ‘Meghalyan Age’, the age that has witnessed the maximum destruction of nature through human interference.
