Last week, a team studied Indore’s strategy to dispose of solid waste. During its two-day visit to Indore, the team also visited Asia’s largest bio-CNG plant located at the city’s trenching ground, according to a government communique.

The UP team that went to Indore included the representatives of the urban bodies of Mathura-Vrindavan, Jhansi, Aligarh, Saharanpur, Bareilly, Farrukhabad, Kushinagar, Ekdil Nagar, Moradabad, and Gorakhpur.

Following the visit, the officials said UP too plans to set up bio-CNG plants with a capacity to process 300-400 tonnes of wet waste in several cities.
