Review of E-Transport Services

A review meeting was held at the Government Secretariat, presided over by Chief Secretary V. Srinivas, to assess the progress and expansion of e-transport services. The Chief Secretary held discussions with officials from the Department of Local Self-Government, the Transport Department, Jaipur City Transport Services Limited, and the RSRTC regarding the procurement and rollout of e-buses.

He stated that Chief Minister Bhajanlal Sharma is committed to developing a better, safer, and more convenient public transport system for both urban and rural areas. Given the rising urbanization and traffic pressure, the state government’s decision to operate e-buses will not only help in reducing pollution but will also provide superior travel facilities to the public. He noted that the operation of these new e-buses would make the urban transport system more efficient and organized, while also leading to a significant reduction in fuel consumption.

The meeting also reviewed the progress on directives issued by the Chief Minister during the fifth ‘Raj-Unnati’ review meeting held on May 15, 2026, regarding complaints about sanitation services in densely populated areas near the border of Barmer city.
