In an eco-friendly initiative, Tihar Prison has joined hands with Bhabha Atomic Research Centre to set up a bio-gas plant on its premises. The plant will utilise the waste from its nine jails. It will then help generate bio-fuel, which can be used for cooking and meeting the electricity needs of the jail.

Tihar houses nearly 12,000 prisoners and produces large amount of waste everyday. AIR correspondent reports the Director General of the Prison has given a go ahead for the proposal. National News Content
