Hyderabad: The Hyderabad Disaster Response and Assets Protection Agency (HYDRAA) and the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) may use robotics to clear the silt and plastic waste clogging-the underground drains near the Ameerpet metro station.
HYDRAA chief inspects de-silting works
On Tuesday, September 9, HYDRAA commissioner AV Ranganath inspected the de-silting works near the Ameerpet metro station, which got flooded during the recent heavy rains.
The officials informed the commissioner that the de-silting works on the Ameerpet main road, under the metro station, will be completed in 4-5 days.
Stressing the need to use robots to clear the hardened silt fully or partially blocking the box drains under the metro station, the officials explained to the commissioner, how opening the box drains will help address most of the flooding in that area.
The officials informed that the kind of robo technology being used to excavate tunnels could be effectively used in clearing the silt from underground drains as well.
