Efforts on to make CNG from paddy stubble, says Nitin Gadkari

Mathura, January 7

The Centre is making efforts to provide relief to people from air, water and noise pollution, Union Road Transport Minister Nitin Gadkari said on Friday. He said efforts were on to make CNG from stubble of paddy also. Green fuel and electric-run vehicles would replace those running on diesel and petrol, he said.

“By replacing petrol with ethanol, the environment would turn eco-friendly and it would be a shot in the arm for farmers from income angle,” Gadkari said while virtually inaugurating over half a dozen roads, including widening of some, passing through Brij area. — PTI
