BENGALURU: More citizens, companies and industries need to come together to improve the city’s infrastructure and living conditions, said BBMP Chief Commissioner Gaurav Gupta.
Talking to media representatives at the launch of a truck-mounted with a mechanical sweeping machine, which was handed over by the L&T Realty Developers Limited to BBMP, under CSR initiative, Gupta said that more companies should come forward and contribute in multiple fronts to improve the city.
The new truck will initially be used for road cleanup in the Yelahanka-Batarayanapura limit due to its size and capacity, where the civic body cannot work due to wide roads and heavy traffic. It can be used to work most nights, costing Rs 65 lakh. He said the truck could collect dust up to six cubic meters.
BBMP Helpers will continue to clean up the city’s small and internal roads, Gupta said. Acknowledging that many of the previously purchased mechanical sweepers were not in use, he said following an inspection in Hebbal and RT Nagar Grounds many of them were redeployed.
