The Vijayawada Municipal Corporation’s (VMC) initiative to arrange a conveyor belt on ghats to carry discarded clothes has eased the work burden on sanitation employees.
Every year, devotees, after relinquishing Bhavani deeksha, discard the deeksha clothes at the ghats. Some of them discard the clothes during the last couple of days of the Dasara festival, while others do it in December-January.
“Until last year, a separate team of outsourced employees was assigned the job of carrying huge buckets filled with discarded clothes,” Additional Engineer, VMC, Chandra Sekhar Reddy, said.
