The e-autos that will be used for garbage collection
The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) has decided to deploy e-auto rickshaws for waste collection in the narrow lanes of Fort, Colaba and Dharavi. If everything goes according to plan, the collection will begin next month.
The BMC plans to hire six e-auto rickshaws for a period of six months. The A Ward, which includes Fort and Colaba, will receive three e-autos, while the G North Ward—covering Dharavi, Mahim, and Dadar East—will get the remaining three.
