Waste-to-energy plant to come up in Ambala

The Haryana government has sanctioned Rs 600 crore for setting up a waste-to-energy plant in Ambala, state health minister Anil Vij said today.

The plant will come up at Patvi village. A tender has already been floated. The construction work will begin soon, Vij said in a statement.

He also said a cleanliness campaign is being run in the city in collaboration with a Mumbai-based private body.

Every household in the municipal corporation area has been given two dustbins for the segregation of solid and liquid waste, he added.
