In keeping with the Clean India campaign, the Gas Authority of India Limited (GAIL) handed over 18 CNG vehicles to the BBMP on Thursday.
Murugesan, executive director, Gail India (South Zone), and chief general manager Vivek Wathodkar handed over the vehicles to BBMP administrator Gaurav Gupta and commissioner N Manjunatha Prasad.
The 18 vehicles, whose total cost is estimated at Rs 1 crore, can be powered by either CNG or petrol. However, considering the eco-friendly and cost-effective aspect of CNG, the Palike would do well to avoid petrol. Gail has already set up CNG distribution plants in four places.
