जड़ों से पुल बुनते हैं मेघालय के खासी [Living-root bridges in India by Khasi community]
जनजातीय खासी समुदाय के लोग मेघालय में कई पीढ़ियों से पैदल पुल बना रहे हैं. यह पुल खास हैं क्योंकि इन्हें जिंदा पेड़ों की जड़ों से बनाया जाता है. स्थानीय लोग इन पुलों को देखने आ रहे लोगों के लिए अपने घरों को होम स्टे में तबदील कर देते हैं. इससे उनकी आमदनी भी बढ़ी है और सदियों से चली आ रही परंपरा का ज्ञान अगली पीढ़ी तक भी पहुंच रहा है. The Khasi community in Meghalaya weaves tree roots together to build natural pedestrian bridges. These ingenious structures embody the harmony between indigenous knowledge and the environment, while benefiting both wildlife and the local community.

🇮🇳 India: The Lost Boys | 101 East
Karma, 16, has worked as a miner for over a year in India's northeastern state of Meghalaya, crawling deep inside a 'rat-hole' tunnel to dig coal for seven hours a day. "Inside it is very unstable. The smell is awful," he said sitting on a pile of coal. "It is so dirty, and it is difficult to move. You breathe in the coal and the dust. People get sick like this. There is no water to drink and it is so muddy. It is not nice at all." Child rights activists have reported that there are thousands of children like Karma working in Meghalaya's coal pits, because only those who are small in size are able fit in the claustrophobic tunnels. Many of them, like Karma, are believed to be from neighbouring Indian states, or from nearby Nepal and Bangladesh.
