New Delhi, May 15 : India football team striker, Jeje Lalpekhlua, and a bunch of youth from his Mizoram village are making an effort to preserve the ecosystem of a river whose biodiversity is being impacted by rampant fishing.
The SC East Bengal player has formed a group that is working relentlessly to keep a vigil on Tuichang River near their home in Model Veng Hnahthial village to prevent unauthorised fishing.
"Overfishing has greatly reduced the number of fishes in the Tuichang River over the years. It was turning out to be a big problem, even for the local fishermen who depend on the river for their livelihood," Lalpekhlua told the-aiff.com
