The Thiruvananthapuram Municipal Corporation has hit upon a solution to power streets lamps and also put an end to the waste management issue. The civic body has decided to set up high capacity biogas plants that would power street-lights and community kitchens under the Basic Services for Urban Poor (BSUP) scheme.
The biogas plants will be linked to a compost pit and the gas will be passed through a generator and converted into electricity.
