Mirpur, located in Azad Jammu and Kashmir (AJK), introduced new solar-powered public service vehicles this Wednesday, marking a big step towards using more environmentally friendly transportation.
The pilot project was launched by Mirpur Deputy Commissioner Yasir Riaz and Mayor Usman Ali Khalid. Initially, these vehicles will run from Kalayal Chowk to Thothal, providing transportation at an affordable rate of Rs30 per passenger per stop.
This initiative aims to make travel easier and cheaper for residents and will eventually expand to cover more areas. It highlights how the government and private companies are working together.
During the launch event, city officials and representatives from civil society showed their support for the project, emphasizing its importance for the community and the environment.
