Meghalaya has sought South Korea's help to reclaim the land it lost due to unscientific coal mining that went unchecked for decades, a state minister said here on Saturday.
Chief Minister Conrad K Sangma will lead a high level delegation to South Korea soon to explore possibilities of replicating land reclamation processes tested in that country in the coal mines of Meghalaya.
"South Korea has led the way in terms of land reclamation in their own country. There is a lot to learn from them," Home Minister James P K Sangma said.
James, who addressed the media along with South Korea ambassador to India Shin Bong-kil, said, "We have discussed with his excellency (Shin Bong-kil) about land reclamation post coal mining."
