Nagaland Minister Temjen recently shared a video on Twitter, now rebranded as X, which showed the ingenious construction of environment-friendly washbasins made out of bamboo by the villagers. The clip captured the innovative construction, which skillfully used methods of what nature holds and bestows.
Be it aesthetically pleasing or not, it looked pretty much like a jugaad done by the villagers as an alternative to ceramic fittings. The water flows from a small hole made in the bamboo, which is otherwise packed with a wooden stopper to prevent wastage of water. Moreover, the wooden piece also acts as a tower hanger. The arrangement didn't compromise on anything in need and ropes were used to tie hand wash solutions to the bamboo.
While tweeting the video online, Along captioned it asking people whether they had ever come across such a thing. "Dekha hai kahi aisa," he wrote.
The footage has now become quite popular on social media and people are in awe of the quirky washbasins of Nagaland. Within a day's time, the footage attracted more than 10,000 likes on X and nearly two lakh views. Calling it an amazing idea, many netizens have shared happy emojis as a reply to the video. "Good one... in order to save nature," said a netizen, while another wrote, "Wow."
The video which was shared by the minister is a testament to the creativity of the people of Nagaland and has surely garnered accolades from netizens. It goes to show how the villagers are making use of nature’s resources to create something useful for themselves.
