LUCKNOW: Lucknow Municipal Corporation (LMC) will now use a new tool Vehicle Tracking System (VTS) to track trucks used for garbage collection. On April 6, 2019, the corporation installed the system in trucks and caught three drivers skipping duty on the first day of the launch.

The system not only tracks the location of garbage trucks, but also records the time a truck driver has to spend in an area.

LMC paid around Rs 2 crore to a private company of Bangalore for technology. The LMC’s control panel monitors the system that was first used by Pune Municipal Corporation. So far, the LMC has installed the system in 400 vehicles, and the remaining 200 vehicles are in the process of setting it up.
