Apart from pollution, vegetables and fruits waste could affect the health of people, he said adding that the idea behind setting up biogas and biomanure plants was to ensure scientific disposal of vegetables, flower and fruits waste.

Each plant would process 10 tonnes of vegetables, flowers and fruits waste and generate biomanure and biogas. To set up one plant, it is estimated to cost Rs.5 crore, he informed.

These plants would be set up in coordination with IICT scientists under the Smart Cities programme, he said.

Already, Vinod Kumar had discussed the project concepts with Municipal Administration and Urban Development Minister KT Rama Rao, Municipal Administration Principal Secretary Arvind Kumar and Karimnagar and Warangal district Collectors.
