The intensive week-long project, which covered both Eastern Express Highway (EEH) and Western Express Highway (WEH), significantly enhanced the cleanliness and safety of Mumbai’s major arterial roads by removing enormous amounts of debris, waste and abandoned cars.
The campaign executed from March 17 to 22, saw SFL deployed more than 150 workers alongside with advanced cleaning technology, including 8 electric sweeping machines imported from Europe, 9 litter picking machines, and hook loaders, to ensure an efficient cleaning. High-pressure jetting and misting equipment were used to minimize dust pollution, ensuring efficient road surface cleaning and large-scale debris management. Over 350 kilometres of highway were covered during the campaign, giving Mumbai commuters a more hygienic and obstruction-free journey.

Additionally, several abandoned and non-functional vehicles were cleared, improving traffic flow and safety for commuters.
