The Hynniewtrep Youths' Council (HYC) has issued a public appeal to tourists visiting Sohra and the Khasi-Jaintia Hills region to preserve the natural beauty and delicate ecosystem of the area.
The Meghalaya government has announced a major investment in the tourism sector, with the Ministry of Development of North Eastern Region (DONER) clearing Rs 220 crores worth of projects for tourism development in Sohra.
Sohra’s stunning landscapes are being overshadowed by mounting plastic waste and poor waste management. As Meghalaya aims to become a tourism hub, voices from the ground—including officials—warn that without urgent reform and civic responsibility, the dream could collapse under its own garbage.
