Electric buses come into operation in Lumbini

LUMBINI, April 27: Electric vehicles will come into operation in Lumbini, the birthplace of Buddha, after a long wait. These vehicles were lying idle under the open sky for more than two years due to the delay in the legal process of acquiring the operation permit and the lack of operation modality.

The five electric buses and 14 vans given by donor agencies in grant assistance were sitting idle as the Lumbini Province Government failed to make arrangements for the legal process for operating them.
