JAMMU, Jan 25: The Shiv Sena (UBT) Jammu and Kashmir unit has demanded free travel for senior citizens and women in the e-buses that are running on Jammu and Kashmir’s roads as part of the Smart City Project. They have also demanded that local staff be appointed in these e-buses.
Party president Manish Sahni welcomed the virtual launch of e-buses in Jammu by Union Home Minister Amit Shah today. Sahni said that this is a welcome step to cater the increasing pollution of Jammu and Kashmir, but the operation of these buses will cause financial loss to the owner’s of mini buses plying on the roads of Jammu for decades and the clouds of unemployment are looming over the drivers.
Sahni said that they are not against development and technology but will not accept sacrificing the interests and rights of local people for this. Sahni has demanded the Jammu and Kashmir administration to ensure free travel for women and elderly people along with appointments to local people in the e-buses. President Women Wing Meenakshi Chhibber, General Secretary Vikas Bakshi and Vice President Sanjeev Kohli were also present on this occasion.
