The Mizoram government has announced a Barak River catchment conservation initiative that will be rolled out in eight districts of the state.
The state government of Mizoram has unveiled a new conservation scheme focused on the Barak River catchment area. The project will be implemented across eight districts, covering the river's upstream basin that feeds into both Mizoram and neighboring states.
Authorities say the initiative aims to safeguard water quality, prevent soil erosion, and preserve the biodiversity of the catchment region. It will involve coordinated efforts among forest, water resources, and local administration departments.
The rollout is part of Mizoram's broader environmental agenda, seeking to balance development with the protection of natural resources that sustain agriculture and livelihoods in the region.
