Jal Shakti ministry shares beautiful pictures of Umngot river in Meghalaya
Jal Shakti ministry shared an incredible image of a boat floating in the river in Meghalaya which is currently going viral on Twitter. The river water was so clear and clean that the trees and rocks at the bottom could be seen clearly, and the boat seemed to be floating in the air instead of floating on the water. According to the tweet, the photo features Meghalaya’s Umngot River. The ministry thanked the people of the state for keeping their river clean.
Umngot River is located about 100 km from the capital Meghalaya Shillong. The Jal Shakti ministry said it was “one of the cleanest rivers in the world”.
The ministry reads: “May all our rivers be clean. Hats for the people of Meghalaya”.
The picture shows the boat carrying five people, including the person rowing it. It has received more than 19,000 likes and more than 3,000 retweets since it was shared on Tuesday morning.

While some were shocked after seeing the image, many assumed that now that a large number of people know about the Umngot River, they will also rush to pollute it.
Unbelievable sir. ????????????????

One user said that the river is clean because of the low population density.
All due to low population density, inaccessible high mountains.

This person thinks “the image is edited”.
I think this is a photo shopping image. It would be fun to be proven wrong.

A major cause of river pollution in India is the discharge of municipal and industrial waste into them. Delhi Jal Council recently had to deploy people to Water the Yamuna River to prevent the dirty foam from flying away from banks during Chhath Puja.
