Jaipur military station gets plastic waste road

Jaipur Military Station got its first plastic road, which was inaugurated by Maj Gen R S Godara, General Officer Commanding of 61 Sub Area, on Wednesday.

The Jaipur Military Station is the second such station to construct the plastic waste road and first to make it part of its maintenance programme.

 

The other road was earlier built in Narangi Military Station in Northeast in 2019, defence spokesperson Lt Col Amitabh Sharma said, according to PTI.

 

The 100-metre stretch from Sagat Singh Road under bridge to Cubs Corner complex in the Rajasthan capital was constructed using plastic waste.

 

Maj Gen Godara also planted a tree at the site during the inauguration, symbolising growth and development.

 

Advantages of a plastic waste project like this include increased durability, less wear and tear, reduced water induction and increased sustainability as compared to the conventional roads, Jaipur Military Station's Project Officer Maj Tushar Nambiar said.
