Guwahati: Taking strong note of depleting ground water level in Guwahati city due to rampant deep boring activities for water source at residential areas, Chief Minister Sarbananda Sonowal suggested insertion of legal provision in the existing GMC Act to address the issue.
He asked the department to suitably amend the existing provisions of the GMC Act and also to go through relevant Acts of other governments to make it mandatory to obtain permission from the government before undertaking any deep boring within the capital city.
