Other concern issues on the exercise of unregulated water pipeline and plastic free within Kohima town were also taken up during the meeting, where DC said that activities in clearing the unregulated pipelines in few worst affected areas and checking of prohibited plastic items were undertaken by the district administration along with some other departments and concerned colony authorities during the year 2019. However, he informed that with the present pandemic the exercise could not be conducted for the past year and months where the re-surface of prohibited plastic items and re-appearance of water pipelines have being observed. The meeting has therefore decided to look into these concerned issues and take up further action in due course of time. In this connection, a committee for streamlining the water pipeline was also constituted during the meeting.
