Now currently corporation owns two machines to clean beaches daily in mornings and evenings for one hour. Officials gained feedback and reported the hours of cleaning is not enough or efficient to meet the enormous cleaning task in these main beach spots of Chennai. The beaches cannot be cleaned manually on regular basis. With this demand the corporation finally decided to buy more machines under the central government scheme oriented with tourist department.
Many public and activist opinions express the inactivity of such machines for most of the times. The maintenance of the machines were not properly planned and executed making it to form residual impurities leading to malfunction of the machines. So the corporation should take necessary measures to restrict plastic usages and for storing large scale dumps formed inside the beach premises.
