Shimla, January 20

The Shimla Municipal Corporation is installing five Swachh ATMs at various places in the city to keep it clean. People can throw water bottles, tinned bottles and plastic wrappers into these ATMs. Interestingly, people will get some credit points every time they throw waste into the ATMs, which could later be encashed.

Municipal Commissioner Ashish Kohli said that the MC was moving towards mechanised sweeping of the city. “We bought two street sweeping machines from Italy some time back. Besides, Power Grid Corporation has given us a sweeping machine and a compactor under its CSR scheme,” he added. “We are getting two more machines from Power Grid Corporation, one for sewerage cleaning and the other for littering solution,” he said.
