The BMC will carry out ground-penetrating radar (GPR) surveys for mapping underground utilities to take forward its plan to install underground community bins. According to officials, the civic body decided to install underground bins along the roadsides, which would replace traditional bins, but could not find suitable spots for their installation as there are underground utilities under the roads.
“The GPR survey will help us identify the location of underground utilities. The survey will be carried out in areas that have been identified for installation of the underground bins. We will conduct a survey at four to five spots and choose a place where there are no underground utilities, or where the utilities can be shifted to install the bins,” said an official.
