Co contracted by Union govt to operate 675 e-buses in Raj
Jaipur: Eight city transport corporations in Rajasthan, including Jaipur City Transport Services Limited (JCTSL), will soon sign agreements with Chartered Speed, a company contracted through a bidding process floated by the Union govt's subsidiary, Convergence Energy Services Limited (CESL), to operate 675 electric buses. Confirming the development, Narayan Singh, managing director of JCTSL, said CESL contracted this company to operate e-buses in 13 cities across the country, including Jaipur, under the Pradhan Mantri e-Bus Sewa Scheme. Of JCTSL's share of 675 e-buses, 150 will be kept for Jaipur and the rest distributed to seven other cities in Rajasthan. "Now, the company will sign separate agreements with all eight city transport corporations and equip the depots with infrastructure suitable for the operations of e-buses. Buses will be allotted in phases within the next five to nine months," Singh said. Two types of AC e-buses, one 9 metres in length and the other of 12 metres, will be operated under this scheme. The six other cities where the e-buses will operate are Bhilawara, Udaipur, Kota, Jodhpur, Alwar, Bikaner, and Ajmer. Under Pradhan Mantri e-Bus Sewa Scheme, Union govt will take responsibility for 50% of the viability gap funding (VGF). by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch vàng CFDs với sàn môi giới tin cậy IC Markets Tìm hiểu thêm Undo An official explained, "Say, if JCTSL's operation cost is Rs 100 and revenue generation is only Rs 60, the state govt pays the subsidy of the remaining Rs 40. Under this scheme, the Union govt will bear Rs 20 of the subsidy amount." Besides, JCTSL will also procure 300 CNG-run minibuses to be operated by private operators. Officials, however, said the 150 e-buses and the 300 minibuses won't meet the need for city buses in Jaipur, which needs around 2,200 buses. At present, while JCTSL operates around 250 buses, there are around 600 private buses. Chief minister Bhajan Lal Sharma recently took up this issue with the Union govt. The centre is ready to provide more buses to Rajasthan under the Pradhan Mantri e-Bus Sewa Scheme, another official disclosed.

Drug smuggler Narayan Singh held in Barmer
1 2 Jaisalmer: The Jodhpur Police's Cycloner team arrested Narayan Singh, a notorious opium smuggler from Madhya Pradesh, during Operation Ramaniya on Friday. Singh, who had a Rs 40,000 bounty on his head, was apprehended in Barmer while attempting to collect dues from opium transactions. Inspector General Vikas Kumar said Singh, hailing from Ratlam, Madhya Pradesh, was heavily involved in smuggling opium from Madhya Pradesh and Mewar to districts in Marwar, including Barmer, Balotra, Jalore, and Jodhpur. Despite being under police surveillance, Singh had managed to evade capture until now.

Hefty water bills without connection shock residents of Prithviraj Nagar
Jaipur: Residents of several colonies in Prithviraj Nagar were left stunned after receiving unexpectedly high water bills in May—even in areas where water pipelines are yet to be installed. The issue surfaced in over 20 colonies, including Ashok Vihar, Hans Vihar, Krishna Vihar, and Shyam Vatika. The Public Health Engineering Department (PHED) recently began supplying Bisalpur water to parts of the area, but many households without active water connections still received bills, causing confusion and frustration among residents. "Around five months ago, I applied for the PHED connection. The department is yet to supply water to my house. Still, the department sent me a bill of Rs 700," said Shailendra Bhatt, a resident of Rajiv Vihar. The residents claimed that most of them received bills ranging between Rs 400-700, despite the water supply to households being very limited. Even residents of the Income Tax Colony in Sanganer have received these 'inflated' bills. "In my colony, no PHED officials visited a single house after providing the Bisalpur connection to read the meter. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Cost Of Amusement Park Equipment From Mexico Might Surprise You - See Tips Amusement Park Equipment | search ads Click Here Undo Then how did PHED calculate our bill?" said Narayan Singh, President of Hans Vihar Vikas Samiti. When TOI contacted PHED, a senior engineer said, "Residents do not need to worry. As per the new norm, we are going to generate bills according to the new tariff, but residents consuming water up to the quantity of the lowest slab of the tariff need to shell out only Rs 50 after deducting all the subsidy," said a PHED engineer.
