The commissioner said, "We have tested this project in 50 per cent of the wards. It was ascertained whether or not the garbage vehicles were using their designated routes. The time taken by these vehicles for door-to-door garbage collection is also estimated." Elaborating on the smartwatch project, Singh said he and other IMC employees and officers, including additional and deputy commissioners, engineers and workers (totalling around 10,000) engaged in sanitation work, would wear the device during their duty hours. "With the help of this gadget, we will be able to check easily whether or not employees engaged in sanitation work are doing their duty properly at the field level.

The watch would record their duty time and register attendance at their workplace," the civic chief said. Singh said a control room is being set up to monitor the real-time movement of IMC's garbage vehicles and track employees with the help of GPS
