​Tihar to have biogas plant on its premises

NEW DELHI: In an eco-friendly initiative, Tihar Prisons has joined hands with Bhabha Atomic Research Centre to set up a bio-gas plant on its premises which will utilize the waste from its nine jails. This plant will help generate bio-fuel, which will assist in meeting the jail’s electricity needs. Tihar houses nearly 12,000 prisoners in its nine jails and produces large amount of waste every day.
The DG prisons, Vimla Mehra, had given the go-ahead for the proposal after she felt it to be productive, said Tihar spokesman.
