With an objective of augmenting income for local washermen and reducing pollution in water bodies, the Sircilla civic body has set up a high-tech mechanised dhobi ghat at an estimated cost of ₹ 1.05 crore at Venkampet in the textile town of Sircilla, seeking to empower washermen with technology.
The eco-friendly initiative is aimed at increasing the productivity of work for washerman community, reducing consumption of water and detergent for washing clothes besides drudgery involved in washing clothes manually, especially in the COVID induced turbulent times.
