clean village, green village essay
Answers
Answer:
Most of our cities are unlivable - congested and potholed roads, overflowing drains, erratic power and water supply, garbage strewn around so much as to cause accidents like the one recently in Bangalore, when a girl lost her life after her two-wheeler skidded on waste. But here’s a village that looks cleaner than our average city! Welcome to Mawlynnong in Meghalaya.
About 90 km south of Shillong, Meghalaya’s capital, and barely 4 km from Bangladesh border, this village tells us an amazing story of cleanliness, environmental conservation and civic discipline.
Picturesque landscape, well-asphalted roads (you really miss the potholes!) - the village exudes grace and tranquility. There are 87 houses and 485 people. The place is so spic and span that we did not find even a tiny bit of paper or dry leaf anywhere, a miniature version of the much-talked about City-State Singapore. Flowerbeds of all hues dot both sides of the roads.
