Now robots to clean drains in Guwahati

India Blooms News Service | @indiablooms | 28 Jul 2020, 10:48 pm

Guwahati/IBNS: For the first time in the North-East, the sewage in drains will be cleaned by robots.

Guwahati Development Department Minister Siddhartha Bhattacharya on Tuesday inaugurated the first-ever sewage cleaning robot in Guwahati.

The robot named ‘BANDICOOT’ has been procured by the Guwahati Municipal Corporation (GMC) along with six Skid Steer Loaders (mini loaders) from JCB and six Backhoe Loaders from CASE and BOBCAT companies each.

The BANDICOOT robot is also the first of its kind in the world that was developed by a Start-up India company called Genrobotics under the Make in India initiative, funded by CSR of Indian Oil Corporation Limited (IOCL).
