Now the roads of Delhi will be swept by high-end machines. The Delhi Pradesh BJP president flagged off MCD’s mechanised sweeping machines on Thursday. Delhi became the first metropolitan city in the country where 900 kms of 60 ft roads will be sweeped with the machines sweeped in the night. Before the onset of morning, the roads will now look much cleaner.

These ultra-modern sweeping machines have been imported so that roads can be kept in good condition.
“My dream is to make Delhi clean and beautiful. For the purpose of achieving this objective, the MCD has for the first time in the history of Delhi framed an ambitious scheme for cleaning the roads by mechanised sweeping machines imported from foreign countries and implemented for sweeping of 60 ft. wide roads of Delhi,” Mr Gupta said, adding that these machines will collect five cubic meters of dirt and garbage from the roads in one go. The operation of these machines will be fully mechanised. This will help in saving human labour and the roads will become fully clean. The sweeping work will be done in the night so that the people of Delhi do not face difficulty in using the roads. Negligence or laxity in the work will not be tolerated.
“Since the time I took over as the mayor of Delhi, I tried to make Delhi beautiful and more beautiful. My priority is that the capital of India should look clean. For this purpose, the scheme of mechanised sweeping has been started for the first time in the history of Delhi. It will be extended in future,” said Delhi mayor Rajni Abbi.
