On the occasion of World Environment Day, Hon’ble Deputy Chief Minister Chowna Mein flagged off a fleet of electric buses (e-Buses) from the State Banquet Hall, Itanagar. This significant initiative marks Arunachal Pradesh’s progressive step towards embracing clean, green, and sustainable public transportation.
The launch of electric buses reflects the state government's commitment to reducing carbon emissions, easing traffic pollution, and providing citizens with a more efficient and eco-conscious transport system.
These e-Buses are expected to not only reduce dependency on fossil fuels but also promote inclusive mobility, particularly in urban areas like Itanagar and Naharlagun, where population growth and vehicle congestion are on the rise. Moreover, this initiative aligns with India’s broader climate commitments and the vision of a Viksit Bharat (Developed India) that is both modern and environmentally responsible.
