Addressing the event, Nayab Singh Saini said that 450 new electronic buses will be included in all the transport depots of Haryana by the year 2026.

Soon new electronic buses will be sent to Gurugram, Faridabad, Yamunanagar, Rohtak, Hisar and Panit. MP Dharambir Singh, Dadri MLA Sunil Sangwan, Badhra MLA Umed Patuwas and Ransingh Panihar along with BJP District President Sunil Engineer, Municipal Council Chairman Bakshiram Saini etc. were present in the event.
