BAREILLY: The state government has directed the Uttar Pradesh Public Works Department (PWD) to construct at least one road in each district using municipal solid waste. Moreover, mixing plastic waste with bitumen improves road quality as it keeps water from seeping into the road. Speaking to TOI, PWD chief engineer of Bareilly division Rakesh Rajwanshi said, “PWD has received the direction to ensure that at least one road in the district be made using municipal solid waste. PWD officials told TOI that though the plan of laying roads using solid waste was put in place last year, only a handful of roads have been constructed using the method so far..
