At a time when residents and villagers are gearing up to “physically” stop the dumping of waste at the proposed Sector 123 dumping yard site in Noida, the city administration has announced it would collect only dry waste from residential sectors from June 30.

Pali Hill in Bandra is ready to inaugurate waste-to-energy plant that would convert 800kg wet waste into biogas to light up street lights and bulbs.

The project site has been provided by the BMC while the funding is done by Pali Hill Residents Association.
