PASIGHAT, Nov 10:  The Silluk village under Mebo Sub-Division here in East Siang District has been selected as the cleanest village of the district for the second consecutive year.
A 4-Member Screening Committee under the Chairmanship of Tatdo Borang, Addl. Dy. Commissioner (HQ) was constituted by Dy. Commissioner, East Siang District for the year 2021-22 to select the cleanest village of the district to be recommended further for state level competition under Chief Minister's Award for Cleanest Village (CMACV). Accordingly, the Screening Committee inspected 26 shortlisted villages out of total 102 villages in the district by respective Block level officers. The screening committee made a detailed inspection and survey of the pre-shortlisted 26 villages in three phases covering all the blocks of the district.
The villages were screened thoroughly on various parameters like households having access to safe toilets, existence of proper drainage for disposal of liquid waste, methods adopted for segregation of biodegradable/non-biodegradable waste etc.
The sequence wise top-9 villages of East Siang District for the year 2021-22 are Silluk, Balek, Sika Tode, Kelek Roing, Rengging, Gadum-I, Bodak, Mikong and Lingka. While Silluk village achieved the tag of cleanest village of East Siang District for second consecutive year, Balek made it to 2nd cleanest this year due to its overall village cleanliness drive. Other less known villages in regards to cleanliness contest in previous years like Gadum-I under Mebo Sub-Division and Lingka village under Ruksin Sub-Division made it to top-9, but former cleanest village Ledum and Mebo Sub-Division’s cleanest village Raling couldn’t find space in this year’s survey due to inconsistent and poor maintenance of village cleanliness.

Commissioner, East Siang District has extended congratulations and appreciation to the Silluk village for keeping up the spirit and taking cleanliness of village to the next level by locally arranging compost pits for biodegradable wastes, making eco-bricks from non-biodegradable wastes like plastic etc.
