The Lukha river, which originates from the Nongkhlieh Elaka and flows along the Narpoh reserve forest of Jaintia Hills, Meghalaya, is one of the main rivers that run through the district and drains itself into the Surma valley in Bangladesh.

There was a foul smell lingering in the air for days, and thousands of dead fish were pushed to the banks", describes Bah J Lamare, the headman of Sonapur village, recollecting the event that shocked the locals
