Big initiative to control pollution; Green signal given to 100 electric buses, women of Delhi will get pink card benefit

To reduce the increasing pollution in Delhi, Rekha Gupta government has flagged off 100 new electric buses. With this, Delhi’s interstate bus service also started. Chief Minister Rekha Gupta said that today we are starting Delhi Interstate bus service, which will run between Delhi and Dharuhera. This is an important step in the field of inter-state connectivity. Also, 100 new electric buses (EV buses) will also run on the roads of Delhi from today.

Rekha Gupta said that the most effective way to control pollution is to strengthen public transport. Our aim is that Delhi’s public transport system should become so convenient and advanced that people give preference to public transport instead of private vehicles.

Let us tell you that currently 3,400 electric buses are operating in Delhi. The government aims to further increase this number by next year, so that the entire bus fleet can be fully electric in a phased manner. University bus services, which were discontinued in previous years, have also been restarted. Rekha Gupta said that due to lack of pollution testing centers in Delhi, a large number of vehicles were plying on the roads without valid pollution certificate (PUC). To solve this problem, new ‘Automatic Testing Centres’ will be established in Nand Nagri, Tehkhand and Burari.
