After receiving complaints about sub-standard quality work, official scheduling inspection of sweeper machines
The Municipal Corporation, who plans to add 25 new mechanical sweeping machines to existing fleets, has scheduled inspections of different types.
This time, the official will check the machine not to make a payment to sweep the road but to assess its performance.
This came after a complaint that the manufacturer mobilized the ‘sub-standard engine’ to the civilian body.
Inspection is scheduled for Tuesday.
While the mechanical sweeper is considered an answer to stop the city from turning into a large bowl of dust, Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Puku (BBMP) has received an accurate comptroller and general auditor (CAG) that found a total of 18 differences in tenders called for the procurement of 26 machines as in 2017.

Furthermore, TPS Infrastructure Ltd., a new company based in Delhi, has won a separate contract for supplying self-propelled and truck engines.

Knowing that the Head of the BBMP Commissioner Gaurav Gupta has proposed to examine all 26 operating machines and maintenance (O & M) has been outsourced to three different companies.
In addition to getting a head over land reality, inspections tend to help the civil body to develop better technical specifications because it is on the verge of adding a new machine at a cost of Rs 230 Crore.
Each of these machines, currently in detention of the BBMP road infrastructure division, has a contractual obligation to sweep an average of 40 km a day.
Contractors, officials said, punished if the machine does not cover this distance.
“Payments are made based on kilometers covered by each machine every day.”
Many more mechanical sweepers, more manufacturing problems are wondering why the civil body insists on self-propelled machines when there are various solutions to sweep roads on the market including chassis-mounted machines that can travel minimal care.
While the shadow of the favorite continues to haunt Civic’s body, some citizens are happy with the work.
“Seven machines have been given to the Mahadevapura zone.
We have created whatsapp groups to track their performance.
Each machine collects two dust and mud charges every day.
This will be manually
It is impossible, “Clement Jayakumar, Secretary at the Mahadevapura task force, said.
Mahadevapura requires around 16 machines so that all the main roads can be covered every day – Clement Jayakumar, Mahadevapura Task Force
Machine specifications, he said, in such a way that they can cover only 40 km a day.
“Mahadevapura itself needs around 16 machines so that all the main roads can be closed every day.
The machines now cover all high density corridors such as Sarjapura Road, Road Main Road, ORR and Old Airport Road on alternative days.”
In his recent budget, BBMP officials have announced they will publish route maps and GPS data from all 26 machines that sweep on their website, but that has not happened.
