Meghalaya's Dawki River Turns Murky, Tourism Fears Rise

Meghalaya, a state in India known for its beautiful landscapes, has seen a big increase in tourists recently.

One of its most famous spots is the Dawki River, which is known for its super clear water.

But lately, the river has turned muddy, and people are worried.

Videos of the murky water have gone viral, and tourists are canceling their trips.

Locals who depend on tourism for their livelihoods are very concerned.

They think the construction of a new road nearby is causing the pollution.

The government has fined the construction company, but locals want more action to protect the river and their incomes.

Without the clear water, many families might struggle to make a living.
