PUNE: The Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC) will deploy at least five ‘Jatayu’ machines, which are meant for contactless cleaning of select spots across the city that are probe to garbage dumping. These trash collection machines facilitate the clearing of up to two tonnes of garbage from roadsides per day.
Developed and patented by Abhishek Shelar, alumnus of Harvard University and IIT Bombay, each machine has enough suction power to lift coconuts, glass, bottles, leaves, medical waste, food waste, clothes, cans, shoes, and all types of litter without choking.
