The New Delhi Municipal Council (NDMC) has inaugurated a composting site at INA–Delhi Haat and honored the Aradhana Housing Society in RK Puram as an ''Anupam Colony'' for its sustainability efforts. This initiative, part of the SORT project, promotes waste segregation and recycling in collaboration with the IPCA and Motherson Group.

The New Delhi Municipal Council (NDMC) on Friday celebrated the launch of a composting site at INA–Delhi Haat, while also designating the Aradhana Housing Society in RK Puram as an 'Anupam Colony' for its outstanding sustainability practices.

Inaugurated by NDMC Chairman Keshav Chandra under the Segregation of Waste for Recycling and Treatment (SORT) project, the composting facility is a collaborative venture with the Indian Pollution Control Association and the Motherson Group.
