Taking a major step towards introducing eco-friendly public transport in Punjab, Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann has approved pilot projects for e-vehicles from Ludhiana and Jalandhar as well as e-autos in Amritsar.
Presiding over a meeting here today to review various development projects in 47 cities of the state, the Chief Minister said that apart from providing better public transport facilities to the people, these facilities will also play an important role in protecting the environment. He said that e-vehicle service will be introduced as pilot projects in Ludhiana and Jalandhar cities and e-autos will be introduced in Amritsar as pilot projects.
Bhagwant Mann said that these modes of transport will also help a lot in solving the traffic problem in these cities. He said that with the aim of solving the problem of stray cattle, the state government will soon start a pilot project in Bathinda and Patiala districts. He said that this will be a big relief for the people. Bhagwant Mann said that due to the abundance of stray animals, the lives of people have become a threat due to road accidents.
The Chief Minister further said that for the first time the state government has implemented a project to assess the need for work through ‘artificial intelligence’ to determine the need for carrying out any development work. He said that as a pilot project it has been started in Amritsar for development works. Bhagwant Mann said that this model will also be implemented in other districts to ensure development works on the basis of need in the state.
CM Mann also reviewed the proposed projects worth over Rs 1000 crore to be implemented in various cities and said that this would give a big boost to these cities. He said that through the Rs 762.45 crore project, 100 percent water supply will be ensured through canals in these 47 cities. Bhagwant Mann said that work on this ambitious project is likely to start by August this year.
