The Chief Minister, Mr Manohar Lal, laid the foundation stone for a power plant in Bandhwari village. The power plant costing Rs 502 crore will be constructed in the village of Bandhwari in Gurugram district to generate electricity from waste under the Integrated Solid Waste Management Scheme. This plant to be set up by August 2019, would generate 25 MW of electricity.

The Urban Local Bodies Minister, Mrs Kavita Jain, said this plant in Bandhwari would be one of its kind in the country. Segregation of garbage is necessary at the place of the source. She urged the people to adopt cleanliness as a way of life. She said the state had been divided into 15 clusters. Plants would be installed in Gurugram and Sonipat clusters to generate electricity from waste.
