The third mechanical sweeping machine was pressed into service by NKDA last week. With this, there will be a dedicated machine for each of Action Areas 1,2 and 3. Each is fitted with GPS trackers for easy monitoring. Each has been given a weekly schedule and each morning while setting out for work, the driver of the sweeping machine would know the day's programme in advance. This way, a uniform cleaning schedule is to be maintained. It may be mentioned that the optimum speed for the cleaning is 4 kmph. Thus one lane, one way cleaning of the MAR in AA3 (ie Rabindra Tirtha to Arts Acre) would take 2-3 hours. And there are 6 lanes in this road.
The machines can sweep using their rotating steel brushes, can wipe with water jets, can vacuum clean with its flat nozzles and can hold 6 tons of garbage in its sealed tanker integrated on its chasis. The difference in level of cleanliness on any road after a few weeks is quite amazing.
