Amidst all the noise around Yamuna river pollution and the visuals of toxic froth floating on its surface, if a picture of crystal clear river pops up in your online search, you are bound to say wow. One such stunning image of a clean river from Meghalaya has left the netizens in wonderment.

The Ministry of Jal Shakti has shared an aerial view of the pristine Umngot river from Shillong on its Twitter. “One of the cleanest rivers in the world. It is in India. River Umngot, 100 Kms from Shillong, in Meghalaya state. It seems as if the boat is in air; water is so clean and transparent. Wish all our rivers were as clean. Hats off to the people of Meghalaya,” wrote the Ministry of Jal Shakti.

The water is so clear that even the waterbed with all the stones and pebbles is visible. There’s a boat with five people on it and it gives an impression that it’s gliding on air. The green tone in the photo makes it look like a view from a jungle. It’s a delight for nature-lovers.”

While some people think the picture is photo-shopped, there are some who think people will go and pollute the clean river.
