Hyderabad: The Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation is planning to deploy state-of-the art digging machines to take up the Haritha Haaram mission on a priority basis. Bobcat Auger machine, used across the globe for digging purposes, is being introduced by the GHMC to take up planting Haritha Haaram saplings. Bobcat Auger dealer Katragadda Madhusudhan gave the demonstration of sapling planting by the machine on Thursday.
Speaking on the occasion, GHMC Commissioner and Special Officer Somesh Kumar said the decision has been taken in view of difficulties being faced for digging. Contractors are not coming forward to engage the labourers at various places, he said. The machine, which is being used in different countries, does the work of 60 labourers.
