Lucknow, 1

April (HS): Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath is leading a

zero waste to zero carbon emissions initiative to convert the state

into a sustainable economy. Key projects include adopting scientific solid

waste management (becoming Lucknow the first Zero Fresh Waste Dump

City), pushing 100% solar power in municipalities, and establishing green

hydrogen manufacturing centers. Lucknow has achieved 100% scientific processing

of municipal solid waste, with 55% organic composting/biogas and 45% inorganic.

In a post

on X, he mentioned, “Under the successful guidance of Respected Prime Minister

Shri Narendra Modi, the new Uttar Pradesh is establishing itself as a smart and

world-class urban center, aiming for zero waste to zero carbon

emissions. In this regard, I will shortly participate in the flag-off

ceremony of 250 electric and CNG vehicles of the Lucknow Municipal Corporation,

aimed at ensuring ease of living for the residents of Lucknow.

These vehicles symbolize the double-engine government's commitment to

cleanliness, sustainable development, and environmental protection. They will

further accelerate the efforts to make Lucknow clean, smart, and green.”
