Delhi witnesses waterlogging across the city during monsoon every year leading to several deaths due to drowning and accidents, in order to address the long-standing issue, the Delhi government has introduced a new and advanced sewer-cleaning technology \u2013 the \u2018Recycler Machine\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This advanced machine, brought from Mumbai, eliminates the need for manual sewer cleaning and is designed to speed up operations in the city\u2019s congested areas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Delhi water minister Parvesh Verma inspected the trial demonstration of this state-of-the-art recycler machine done at Delhi\u2019s Greater Kailash. This machine cleans the sewer by going deep inside it without sending any workers down into it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking to the media, Verma said, \u201cWe see water logging during monsoon season. It was because of no desilting in sewers, it hasn\u2019t happened for the last 10-20 years. During rains, there would be water on the road, it would backflow into homes.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe brought these machines and we are trying for one machine in each constituency so that sewers are cleaned properly. We will ensure 100 per cent cleaning. It is to eradicate the problem of waterlogging. Our effort is to restrict entry of labourers in sewers. 100 such machines were used in Mumbai, 30 in Gujarat. We have already ordered 32 super sucker machines last week,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The minister said that the government is continuing its efforts to bring the vision of Prime Minister Narendra Modi of a clean India and modern urban infrastructure in Delhi to reality. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
