The newly acquired mechanised road sweeping machines, valued at Rs. 58.7 million, promise to enhance cleanliness on major city roads within GMC's jurisdiction. These machines are designed to effectively combat dust and ensure efficient street sweeping, significantly boosting overall city hygiene.

In addition, the introduction of 60 e-LCVs, procured at a cost of Rs. 66.9 million, represents a substantial leap forward in Guwahati's waste management capabilities. These electric vehicles not only enhance urban aesthetics but also address air pollution concerns. As a non-attainment city under the National Clean Air Programme, Guwahati's adoption of electric vehicles for waste management marks a crucial step towards reducing fossil fuel emissions and promoting sustainability. GMC plans to establish fast charging stations to support the efficient use of e-LCVs, further advancing the city?s sustainability objectives.

The event was graced by several dignitaries, including the Deputy Speaker, Member, Mayor-in-Council, Joint Commissioners, Municipal Secretary, Collector, Assistant Commissioners, Executive Engineer of Janxala Branch, and Assistant Executive Engineer of Janxala Branch. Their presence underscored the initiative's significance for Guwahati's development.

Mayor Mrigen Sarania emphasised the initiative's importance for public health and environmental protection, highlighting GMC?s commitment to enhancing civic services and combating air pollution under the National Clean Air Programme. This initiative aims to enhance the quality of life for Guwahati?s residents.
