Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar: The Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar Municipal Corporation (CSMC) has purchased three power rodding machines to remove drainage choke up. The machines have a 10 HP engine and cost Rs 9 lakh each. The CSMC administrator has ordered the purchase of seven new machines for every zone office.
The demonstration of the power rodding machines was held to remove the choke up on the main drainage line from the SSC board to Peer Bazar road. The machines have a variety of attachments that can be used to remove different types of choke up.
