“In Jawahar Nagar there is already a 20 Megawatts (MW) waste to energy plant. Recently the Ministry of Environment and Forest gave a nod for one more 28 MW waste to energy plant,” the Minister said.

“After the plant is made operational, with a total 48 MW waste to energy plant, Hyderabad will be the city which has the highest capacity plant that converts waste to energy,” he said, hoping that with the new 1,350 autos flagged off on Monday, better sanitation standards will be achieved.

Home Minister Mohd Mahmood Ali, Animal Husbandry Minister Talasani Srinivas Yadav, Mayor G Vijaya Laxmi, Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation Commissioner DS Lokesh Kumar and other elected representatives were present.
