Reclaimed waste site in Agra to be converted into green zone

The Agra Municipal Corporation plans to develop a dense green zone on a reclaimed waste site, officials said on February 2, 2026.

The land, which was earlier used for waste dumping, has been reclaimed and is now being prepared for conversion into a green area aimed at improving environmental conditions in the city.

Officials said the project will involve large-scale plantation to create dense vegetation over the site.

The initiative is part of broader efforts to increase green cover and improve urban infrastructure in Agra, reported The Times of India.

The civic body said the project will help address environmental concerns while making productive use of reclaimed land within the city limits.
