Vijayawada: VMC Commissioner V Prasanna Venkatesh on Friday inspected the demo of the new CNG vehicle which collects dry and wet garbage. Tata motors and Jasper industries have designed the new vehicle to collect the garbage.
The Commissioner said that the garbage which was segregated by push cart and dumped at a location in the division and loaded into compost vehicle was taking a long time and could transport small quantities.
