While urging the Heads of Departments, PRI leaders, students and the public of the valley to cooperate in the upcoming 9th edition of MCKR scheduled to be held on 13th of this month, AYA president Tapi Mali informed last year more than 4000 people of the valley had participated at the MCKR.

We anticipate people of Ziro valley to cooperate again with AYA and will turn up in more number than the previous year, said the AYA president.

The 27 km long Kley River is the lone river of Ziro valley touching upon all the villages of the Apatani plateau. The Apatani Youth Association had initiated the movement of cleanup operation of the river in 2015 which eventually turned into a calendar based event.
