Delhi Metro became the first-ever such project in the country to receive power generated from a waste-to-energy plant.
Continuing with its various environment-friendly initiatives, the Delhi Metro has started receiving 2 MW power from a 12 MW capacity plant from a company in Ghazipur.
This would be the first-ever attempt by any metro project in the country to procure and utilise energy from waste-to-energy plants and thus, contribute towards 'Swachh Bharat Mission' and also help in creating awareness about the importance of waste management.

Noida's Urban Wildlife
In a positive indication of the district's ecological balance, a boost in urban wildlife has been recorded in a recent census concluded in May. Some species like blackbuck, fox and peacock have doubled their populations over the last eight years.
A hike in the breeding population of certain species like fox, porcupine (sahi), civet (bijju), wild cat and wild boar also made their way to the forest department's checklist of 4,228 animals of over 15 species in the 2019 census.
The last census, held in 2011, recorded 3,692 animals.
The census was held by the district forest department over 20 days in May.
