Lucknow Metro has been implementing sustainable and environment friendly technologies right from the design stage of the project. It has given due importance on the need of energy conservation, water management and green initiatives and is giving priority on the use of renewable sources of energy for its project.

All the eight under construction Metro stations from Transport Nagar to Charbagh are in the process of getting Indian Green Building Council (IGBC) certification. Attempt is made to achieve platinum certification in this regard. Lucknow Metro is taking several energy conservation measures such as use of regenerativebraking in the trains which will result in saving of 30 to 35 per cent traction energy thereby resulting in reduction in emission of Green House Gases (GHG), use of 1% criteria for underground stations in the AC system for the stations, using Variable Voltage Variable Frequency (VVVF) drive for all lifts and escalators, provision of LED lights at stations, use of energy efficient equipment for Environment Control System (ECS) and Tunnel Ventilation System (TVS) system for the underground section etc.

Currently 1.5 MW – 2 MW of electricity has been planned by Lucknow Metro to be used from the roof mounted solar photo voltaic cells of train stabling and inspection line sheds under RESCO model. LMRC has always implemented green construction practices at its project site like tyre/wheel washing of vehicles leaving its site,tree transplantation, recycling of curing water, regular cleaning & maintaining aesthetically pleasing barricades at construction site and others. Because of all these novel measures, Lucknow Metro will be able to recover the entire cost of the project in 5years.

The court, generally, considers a person who commit a crime and the one who destroys the evidence, as criminals in the eyes of law. But what if an animal destroys the evidence of a crime committed by a human.

In a peculiar incident in Rajasthan, a monkey fled away with the evidence collected by the police in a murder case. The stolen evidence included the murder weapon (a blood-stained knife).

The incident came to light when the police appeared before the court and they had to provide the evidence in the hearing.

The hearing was about the crime which took place in September 2016, in which a person named Shashikant Sharma died at a primary health center under Chandwaji police station. After the body was found, the deceased’s relatives blocked the Jaipur-Delhi highway, demanding an inquiry into the matter.

Following the investigation, the police had arrested Rahul Kandera and Mohanlal Kandera, residents of Chandwaji in relation to the murder. But, when the time came to produce the evidence related to the case, it was found that the police had no evidence with them because a monkey had stolen it from them.

In the court, the police said that the knife, which was the primary evidence, was also taken by the monkey. The cops informed that the evidence of the case was kept in a bag, which was being taken to the court.

The evidence bag contained the knife and 15 other important evidences. However, due to the lack of space in the malkhana, a bag full of evidence was kept under a tree, which led to the incident.
