Two private agencies will clean 80 km of roads everyday.The high-end machines that will operate on vacuum technology will help clear ambient air pollution and suck suspended particulate matters (SPM), whose presence in the atmosphere causes respiratory problems."The authorities don't want to take any chances on the pollution level during the mega event. Each machine can suck 700 to 800 kg dust per hour. The sanitary inspectors will monitor the sweeping exercise and submit daily reports," officials said.While the machine will be deployed for sweeping during the night, manual sweeping will continue as usual. "The introduction of machine will not hit manual sweepers.
