The robot can study the regions intently and gather data. It will likewise assist with distinguishing individuals who are not making good on the charge,” An authority expressed.

Traders have accused the government of enforcing a snare on those already paying taxes rather than trying to bring defaulters into taxes.

“Last year similarly, Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) had pulled out to vendors, by far most of which were unmerited. It took us a year to determine the matter,” said Arun Popli, leader of the Okhla Industrial Association.
