Re: Indian Economy News & Discussion - Nov 27 2017
Is food waste in Indian towns and cities collected separately ? Is used cooking oil collected and blended with diesel? From what I have observed it is just dumped. The food waste just rots and encourages rats, and the used oil is just dumped in drains and water bodies. Haresh Ji, Not to my knowledg...

Ah yes, her stupid super-wokeness. But none of that is evident in the film, since it's a biopic and the Army (ADGPI) took care to ensure the representation of one its own was accurate.
