Centre Declares Raigad's Karjat As Garbage-free City: Maharashtra

The central government on November 13 declared the municipal council of Karjat as a garbage-free city in Maharashtra's Raigad district. Karjat reportedly received a three-star rating under the Swacch Bharat Abhiyaan. The wet garbage collected is used for making biogas to supply the electricity in street lights. The dry garbage is used to make paver blocks to construct roads. Notably, the civic body cleans public places twice a day.
