Rajasthan elections: Jaipur govt increases e-rickshaw quota to 32k from 29k
The Jaipur Development Authority (JDA) Traffic Control Board has approved raising the e-rickshaw quota in the city from 29,000 to 32,000, ahead of the upcoming state assembly election, according to a report by the Times of India.
The original proposal by the government aimed to demarcate 11 distinct zones in the city for e-rickshaws, each marked by a specific colour code. E-rickshaws of a particular colour were intended to operate exclusively within their designated zones. To implement this policy, a committee was formed, consisting of members from the transport department, municipal corporations, e-rickshaw associations, the DCP traffic of Jaipur Commissionerate, and a representative from the Jaipur Metro Rail Corporation.
