Bengal to Scrap 22,000 Old Vehicles, Replacing with EVs

The West Bengal government is removing about 22,000 old vehicles from service.

These vehicles, many of which are over 15 years old, will be taken out of service.

The government is replacing them with new, electric vehicles.

This includes vehicles from the police, transport, and various public sector departments.

The move is meant to be eco-friendly and efficient, while also aiming to reduce misuse of government vehicles.

Many departments are also moving towards renting vehicles instead of owning them.

The scrapped vehicles will be stored in government-owned spaces until the scrapping process begins.
