Amritsar, June 9
Amid sweltering heat, the municipal corporation (MC) is using mist cannons to keep the surroundings around green covers cool and prevent wilting of plant leaves. The MC is using these machines on green cover in various areas and even alongside road dividers.
Officials of the MC said efforts were on to clean air of displaced dust particles which get settled on plant leaves. They said dust settled on leaves increases heat effect on plants. Plants dry up and their colour changes due to excessive heat, they said.
