She instructed that 1,115 electric buses be made operational across Punjab by December and directed Deputy Commissioners to expedite the installation of charging stations.
The chief minister also approved a uniform design for bus stops, citing the growing public interest in electric transport, and cleared a district-wise rollout plan for the bus service. She urged early work on the Super Autonomous Rapid Transit (SRT) project to enhance urban mobility.
