00:39But it was very important to know about Delhi new policies.

00:45Because if it is not a planned city, any city did not work.

00:50Because now we allow, anyone can buy any vehicle and we can't widen the roads.

01:46In some cases, now they are starting for a biogas also.

01:52And now energy is there.

01:53But as far as Bangalore is concerned, we have failed in the energy.

01:57We have given 11 to 12 of them waste to energy.

02:01But it has failed.

02:03But now here also they have started with the biogas.
