The dying salt

Chalou village is situated near the Myanmar border of Ukhrul district, Manipur, India and is famous for its indigenous salt made from a particular spring water in their village.
The Tangkhul - Naga tribes have many folktales and folksongs that revolve around the salt of Chalou. Salt was and is very preciouse for us. In olden times the Chalou people use to barter their salt to meiteis in the valley. Some elders even claimed that the name Tangkhul - 'atangba khun', which means precious land was given by meiteis, the valley people of Manipur because of the Chalou salt.
The spring salt is believed to have great medicinal values. It is an essential ingredient while preparing babies food. It enrich and maintain the colour and freshness of vegetables. The elders believes that the salt drives away sickness.
The process of turning the spring water into salt is a long and tiring process and it demand great patients and attention.
It is mark as one of the dying culture of our Tangkhul- Naga culture.

In pic: Call it the result of global climate change or sheer human neglect, Ukhrul district faced acute water scarcity throughout the year. However the most severe season is during winter that extended till rainy season around May.

During this time, most water sources are dried up like the picture below (Hungpung, Ukhrul headquarter) and people struggled to get clean drinking water for household. This is despite 3 to 4 months of rain in a year. We can wonder where all the rain water has disappeared to or why aren't we doing anything to harvest them.
