The Impressive TimesNew Delhi – As part of the Seva Pakhwada being celebrated on the birthday of Prime Minister Narendra Modi from 17th September to 2nd October, Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta inaugurated a 100 TPD Compressed Biogas (CBG) plant and an integrated CBG-CNG fuel station at Ghogha Dairy. Ashish Sood, Urban Development Minister of the Delhi Government; Yogendra Chandolia, MP North West Delhi; Deputy Mayor, Jai Bhagwan Yadav; Standing Committee Chairperson, Satya Sharma; Leader of the House in MCD Pravesh Vahi; Standing Committee Vice Chairman, Sunder Tanwar; MLA Raj Karan Khatri; Chairman of the DEMS Committee, Sandeep Kapoor; Chairman of the Narela Zone Babita Dabas; Local Councillor, Dinesh Kumar; Standing Committee Member, Anju Devi; Commissioner MCD Ashwani Kumar; Managing Director of IGL, Kamal Kishore Chetiwal; a large number of dignitaries, local citizens, and other senior officials of the Municipal Corporation were present.
Chief Minister of Delhi Rekha Gupta said that a new history is being written in the villages of rural Delhi whose dawn will be witnessed by us and the future generations as they will be able to witness garbage free Delhi. Work in this direction has already begun. During the previous government Delhi’s image had become one of stagnation and conflict. The previous Chief Minister tried to shirk responsibility by saying that Modi ji doesn’t let us work. He didn’t want to do anything; he only knew how to make promises and we know how to work. Otherwise this inauguration wouldn’t have happened nor would you people have come here. New schemes are constantly being introduced in Delhi and new inaugurations are being dedicated to the citizens. This is historic in itself. The people of Delhi had never imagined or seen anything like this.
Rekha Gupta said that whatever work is being accomplished today is possible with the blessings of the people of Delhi. She said that Delhi previously had a reputation for garbage but in the last seven months we have tried to address Delhi’s major problems. She said that Delhi has Lakhs of cattle and produces hundreds of tons of dung and where did that dung go even though Delhi didn’t have a single biogas plant? The Chief Minister said that recently we dedicated a 200 tonnes per day biogas plant to the public at Nangli Dairy where excellent quality gas is produced. She added that now dairy owners will earn money through their cattle dung but the previous government didn’t have time to think about this and no government representative visited rural Delhi.
Rekha Gupta told the citizens that their representatives are concerned about you. They want villages, beautiful village chaupals, parks, roads, and schools and I will approve files related to these projects. She said that all public representatives have been instructed to ensure that there are no potholes on the roads. She added that the responsibility for the funds in this regard lies with me. The Chief Minister stated that this is a government elected by the people. To make Delhi garbage-free, biogas plants, wet waste plants, dry waste plants, and waste-to-energy plants where waste is used for electricity generation are being installed. She said that a state-of-the-art e-waste plant is being installed for e-waste disposal. She added that the government is committed to disposing of all types of waste.
Rekha Gupta said that our goal is to ensure that there is no garbage lying anywhere in Delhi. This is a very laborious task but our officials also deserve praise. She said that this achievement was possible only because of our sincere efforts and the honest work of the officials. The Chief Minister thanked IGL for the CBG CNG plant and urged IGL officials to install such plants in each of the 70 assembly constituencies. She said that we are all working together to make Delhi a better and more beautiful city. Our goal is to provide Delhiites with facilities like better schools, better roads, new hospitals, and a better education system. Rekha Gupta said that through UER-2 people from Narela can reach the airport in 25 minutes. She said that Delhi had lagged behind in development for the past several years but now Delhi’s time has come and today more work is being done in Delhi than in all other states. She said that in a short time we will develop Delhi to such an extent that people will say they want to live in Delhi. For this task we need the public’s support and blessings.
Rekha Gupta said that we had pledged to celebrate Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s birthday from 17th September to October 2nd as a Seva Pakhwada. Narendra Modi has said that power is not a means of enjoyment but power is a means of service and dedication. She said that for service and dedication we must work day and night. With this vision we have begun the work of installing solar panels on 1,000 government buildings which will generate 55 megawatts of electricity. She said that I assure you that there will be no power shortage in Delhi. Rekha Gupta said that earlier fire fighting vehicles were unable to reach in case of fire but now Delhi is being made so prepared that in case of any accident all the facilities are available immediately. She said that 24 small fire fighting vehicles are unveiled during the Seva Pakhwada which can go to narrow streets and extinguish fire. She said that companies have been invited to install green energy technology in Delhi so that the people of Delhi can get better facilities. Rekha Gupta said that on 30th September, Home Minister of the country Amit Shah will inaugurate a project worth Rs. 4000 crore for cleaning Yamuna river.
Delhi’s Urban Development Minister Ashish Sood said that the government is committed to developing remote areas of Delhi. He added that Chief Minister of Delhi Rekha Gupta has pledged to reach every corner of Delhi and listen to the public and that commitment has brought us here today. Ashish Sood said that the biogas plant at Nangli Dairy will produce gas from cow dung and here gas will be produced from household waste. He said that imagine that when 100 tons of waste is disposed off here every day and there will be no garbage in any dumping grounds in the area. He said that your garbage will power your vehicle. Ashish Sood said that a state-of-the-art track has been inaugurated in Hirankudna village in rural Delhi. Children and aspiring athletes will practice there and he hopes that a gold medal in the track event at the Olympics will come from rural Delhi. He added that state-of-the-art electric buses will run in Delhi for which the electrification of six bus depots was inaugurated yesterday at the Peeragarhi depot. Ashish Sood said that with adoption of new technology Delhi belongs to the kind-hearted. He said that we will not make Delhi London or Paris where waterlogging used to happen in just one rainfall. He said that we will remove garbage and we will provide you with clean electricity and clean gas. He said that the Chief Minister has sanctioned 1000 crore rupees for development of villages and to make better roads. He said that we are committed to returning you your old and golden village where you have grown up.
Deputy Mayor Jai Bhagwan Yadav said that this plant will process 100 tonnes of garbage daily and produce 4 tonnes of gas. He said that garbage is a major problem in Delhi. He said that Chief Minister Rekha Gupta recently inaugurated a biogas plant at Nangli Dairy. He added that Delhi also faces a parking problem to address the issue the Chief Minister inaugurated a parking lot and laid the foundation stone for another in Punjabi Bagh. Jai Bhagwan Yadav said that Home Minister Amit Shah inaugurated the waste-to-energy plant situated at Ghogha on 17th September which will generate 30 megawatts of electricity from 3,000 tons of garbage daily. He said that by October 2nd of next year the garbage mountain at the Bhalswa landfill site will be removed.
North West Delhi MP Yogendra Chandolia said that the Delhi Chief Minister has undertaken a unique initiative. He said that he had only heard of stories about dumping garbage from one side of plant and extracting gas from the other but today he saw it in person for the first time. Yogendra Chandolia said that previously when people from Haryana traveled to Delhi they would see mountains of garbage but now they see that the garbage is decreasing. He said that if such plants were installed throughout Delhi the garbage problem would be solved. Yogendra Chandolia said that the previous government had done nothing in the last 11 years. He said that Delhi’s Chief Minister Rekha Gupta is working to fulfill Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s vision of a developed India by 2047.
Narela MLA Rajkaran Khatri said that for the first time in Delhi gas will be distributed at the same location as the gas production site. He said that there is no shortage of space for such projects in rural Delhi. Rajkaran Khatri thanked Chief Minister Rekha Gupta for approving projects worth ₹1,000 crore in rural Delhi through the Rural Development Board.
MCD Commissioner Ashwani Kumar said that the past few days have been very positive for Delhi’s solid waste management. He said that a few days ago the Chief Minister dedicated a biogas plant at Nangli Dairy. In continuation of this initiative a 100-tonne-per-day plant is being dedicated today at Ghogha Dairy. The Municipal Corporation of Delhi provided the land for this plant, and its construction cost was approximately ₹30 crore which was borne by Indraprastha Gas Limited. He stated that Indraprastha Gas Limited is responsible for operating this plant and IGL will also sell the gas for which a gas station has been set up adjacent to it.
Ashwani Kumar said that this state-of-the-art plant is fully automated and will segregate solid waste. He added that plans are underway to install more such plants in Delhi. IGL will set up a plant in Ghazipur. Another plant was also scheduled for Okhla but the company responsible for its construction failed to complete the project. IGL has also approved taking over that project. He stated that additional plants will be installed to dispose of the daily waste generated ensuring the removal of landfill sites. He emphasized the need to bridge the gap between waste production and disposal. Ashwani Kumar said that Home Minister Amit Shah recently inaugurated two large plants. Ashwani Kumar said that plants are being inaugurated one after another and he hopes the Delhi government will provide effective solutions to the waste problem in the future.
