New Delhi, September 27

The Delhi Government’s ambitious ‘mohalla’ bus scheme is expected to be rolled out within the next few months with the DTC likely to sign a contract for procuring electric buses this week, an official said on Wednesday.

The mohalla bus service, announced in the 2023-24 Delhi Budget, aims to deploy shorter 9m electric buses to boost last-mile connectivity in areas with roads that have less width or are crowded.

“We are likely to sign a contract with e-bus manufacturers this week or early next week for procurement of buses. The delivery of buses will take between three to five months,” the official said.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
