MIRPUR (Kashmir English): In a major step towards environmental sustainability, Azad Jammu and Kashmir (AJK) has introduced its first-ever electric cart service in Mirpur. A stop-to-stop transportation system has been launched as an eco-friendly program dedicated to public affordability and convenience.
Azad Jammu and Kashmir’s first electric cart service was launched in Mirpur to provide affordable, stop-to-stop transport as a green alternative amid rising fuel costs.
The rising worldwide concern about climate change and growing petroleum product prices drives a quick increase in electric vehicle demand. The new electric cart service in Mirpur demonstrates the changing transportation paradigm as a sustainable and cost-effective solution against normal public transportation.
Local Kashmir Digital news sources spoke with residents who praised the new electric cart system because it offered cheap rates combined with simple access. The public finds this service beneficial for them tremendously according to one user who commented. The journey between Kalyal and Chowk Shaheedan costs 30 rupees which offers a favorable price for morning commuters.
Travelers who take the route from Kalyal to Thothal can access the service at 60 rupees while other public modes of transportation remain more expensive. The electric carts have a traveling range between 100 to 130 kilometers after a single recharge. The transportation vehicles feature solar panels that enable energy charging during periods without weather hindrances.
The carts transform to battery mode when cloudy weather strikes to maintain an uninterrupted ride for passengers. People across the district view the service positively because the 30 rupee fare ensures that labor workers can finally afford transportation.
The electric cart service gains praise from customers because of its environmentally friendly design and affordable rates. Local residents requested the government expansion of economical, eco-friendly transportation services throughout the Azad Jammu and Kashmir territory to enable broader population benefit.
The initiatives demonstrated by this region toward green mobility create possibilities for extended sustainable public transportation while simultaneously decreasing environmental pollution together with reduced financial costs for commuters.
