10 Electric Buses Flagged Off from Nagrota Bagwan, First Heads to Chintpurni Temple

Nagrota Bagwan (Himachal Pradesh), Sep 18 (UNI) Himachal Pradesh Deputy Chief Minister Mukesh Agnihotri on Friday flagged off 10 electric buses from the Nagrota Bagwan bus stand, with the first bus departing for the Mata Chintpurni Temple.
Agnihotri said Himachal Pradesh, known as Devbhoomi, attracts a large number of tourists and pilgrims from across the country and abroad. Electric bus services would provide convenient and improved transportation to pilgrims, tourists and local residents, particularly at religious destinations.
He said the state government was promoting environment-friendly modes of transport as part of its efforts to protect the environment. Electric buses would help reduce pollution and contribute to developing a clean and green public transport system.
The Deputy Chief Minister said expanding such routes, keeping religious tourism in view, would benefit both local people and pilgrims and tourists visiting Himachal Pradesh.
