The South West Khasi Hills District Swimming Association (SWKHDSA) ushered in the New Year by organising a midnight swim at Phot Umnew, Mawkyrwat, and clearing the area of plastic waste.
President of the SWKHDSA and Sub-Divisional Officer of Ranikor, HS Diengdoh, said that this was the first time that a midnight swim was being organised in the district.
He said that the swim was not a competition but an effort to keep one healthy.
The others who took part in the event were the Secretary of the association, Welljune Nongsiej, Fairysha Kharlyngdoh, Baiamonlang Wanniang and Merryjune Shangdiar and others.
