Prayagraj, Feb 11 (UNI) To ensure pristine Ganga-Yamuna during Maha Kumbh, the Prayagraj Municipal Corporation has deployed a high-tech trash skimmer that removes 10 to 15 tons of garbage daily, complementing manual cleaning efforts, official sources said here on Tuesday.
Sources said that the Yogi government is continuously striving to realise Prime Minister Narendra Modi's cleanliness vision, with preparations for the world's largest gathering, Maha Kumbh, having begun four years ago.
To ensure that devotees get clean and pure water while taking a holy dip in Sangam, a trash skimmer machine was installed, initially removing 50-60 quintal of garbage daily. Seeing its efficiency, another machine was purchased by the Prayagraj Municipal Corporation two years ago, doubling the speed of river cleaning operations.
