Ensuring the health and safety of our residents is our top priority,' said Dr Amarjit Kaur. The seized khoya and sweets were intended for supply to local sweet shops and eateries. Samples of the recovered items have been sent for laboratory analysis to determine their quality and to check for any contamination or adulteration. The health department has intensified its vigilance in and around Ludhiana, especially with the increase in demand for sweets and dairy products during festivals. DHO Kaur said that strict action will be taken against any individuals or businesses found involved in the distribution or sale of unsafe food. The health department urged all food business operators to adhere strictly to food safety guidelines and purchase supplies only from verified and licenced sources.

Indore: Atal Indore City Transport Services Limited (AICTSL) will receive 50 new electric buses by the end of this month. Currently, AICTSL operates 30 electric buses on BRTS corridor and 50 on other city routes. To support these new additions, construction of two electric bus depots has commenced at ISBT Nayta Mundla and Dewas Naka, with financial assistance from both central and state govts. AICTSL on Wednesday held a board meeting, chaired by Mayor and board president Pushyamitra Bhargav, where significant decisions were taken to bolster green mobility and enhance public transportation across the region. "AICTSL is rapidly expanding its intercity electric bus services. Operations for 26 fully-equipped electric buses will soon begin on routes connecting Indore to Ujjain, Bhopal, Khargone, Sendhwa, Khandwa, Burhanpur, Ratlam, Dhar-Mandav, and Maheshwar. The tender process for these routes is already complete," he said. Based on passenger demand, AC luxury bus services will soon commence from Indore to Kota, Mandsaur via Neemuch, Jirapur, and Soyat Kala, following the completion of their respective tender processes. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 11 Foods That Help In Healing Knee Pain Naturally | Zen Life Mag Undo AICTSL plans to re-invite tenders for connecting Indore to several major cities like Rajkot (via Surat), Raipur (via Nagpur), Jaipur, Gwalior, Kanpur (via Jhansi), Ahmedabad, Udaipur, Pune, Mumbai, Ayodhya, Varanasi, New Delhi, Damoh, Banswara, Bhusawal, and Shahdol. In an effort to introduce double-decker buses, AICTSL had previously invited tenders. As no bidders participated, the board decided that AICTSL/IMC would directly undertake the procurement of double-decker buses. To further enhance last-mile connectivity, discussions were held regarding the future operation of e-bikes in the city. Currently, 'My Bike Project' successfully operates 1,500 bicycles for this purpose. "To strengthen AICTSL's financial standing, various projects are underway. Tenders have been invited for advertising on 42 unipoles installed on AB Road, with plans to install and invite tenders for advertising on unipoles at depots soon," Mayor said. He also announced free travel for all women passengers on all city buses on Raksha Bandhan. The city will get a total of 150 electric buses, in the first phase, through central govt's PM e-Bus Seva scheme. Of these, AICTSL already has 80 buses and 50 more are expected by month-end. The meeting was attended by AICTSL board vice president and divisional commissioner Deepak Singh, director and district magistrate Asheesh Singh, managing director and municipal commissioner Shivam Verma, director and IDA CEO Ram Prakash Ahirwar, and AICTSL CEO Divyank Singh, along with other officials.
