Assam CM Flags Off 100 CNG Buses

Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma on Sunday flagged off 100 new CNG-run buses, as part of the Smart City Mission.

He also inaugurated the city’s first CNG fuel station.

The CM said the launch of the CNG-run buses and the inauguration of the fuel station were decisive steps for “gradual but firm mitigation” of the impacts of climate change and global warming.

The CNG buses were gifted by Guwahati Smart City Ltd to Assam State Transport Corporation.

A green era has begun in Guwahati!

Happy to flag off 100 CNG buses & Guwahati's first CNG station set up by Purba Bharti Gas near ISBT, Guwahati.

With introduction of clean & green energy in public transport, we're moving closer to our goal of Net Zero Carbon Emission by 2070. pic.twitter.com/zd519MBVUU
