The West Jaiñtia Hills district administration has imposed Section 144 CrPC prohibiting any form of procession or gathering of five or more persons and carrying of arms or any other instruments in and around the landfill area at Mooshutsdai-Mookabeng near Sohphoh village.
The prohibitory order was issued today by the Deputy Commissioner as there was a likelihood of breach of peace and tranquillity in the area in view of the continued opposition to use the landfill area at Mooshutsdai-Mookabeng even for a temporary period.
The Deputy Commissioner has also directed the Executive Officer, Jowai Municipal Board to ensure that the Solid Waste Management Rules, 2012 are adhered to in dumping of garbage at the landfill site.
It may be mentioned that the residents of the village around Mooshutsdai-Mookabeng are opposed to the unscientific and haphazard disposal of the garbage by Jowai Municipal Board at the temporary landfill site.
