Ponds In Assam To Be Geo-Tagged

Guwahati: All ponds in Assam to be geo-tagged under the government scheme ‘Ghara Ghare Pukhuri, Ghare Ghare Maach’.

The decision was taken by Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma after a review meeting with the officials of the State Fisheries Department on Tuesday.

The process of geo-tagging would soon begin across the state.

The scheme was launched during the last budget session for the upliftment of youths in the state and to make them self employed.
