Menawhile, CM Yogi Adityanath on Wednesday flagged off 250 electric and CNG vehicles powered by environmentally friendly green energy for better waste management by the Lucknow Municipal Corporation in Lucknow.

Addressing the event, the CM highlighted the development of Lucknow over the past nine years, emphasising improved living standards, infrastructural growth, and enhanced safety measures.

"In the last 9 years, Lucknow has achieved new heights of development. In nine years, the scope of Lucknow city has expanded, it has helped improve the standard of living of the people living here, and metro operations have started in Lucknow," said CM Yogi.

He emphasised his administration's commitment to sustainable development and solar energy integration across the state.

"Ayodhya city has been developed as a solar city and Lucknow is also being made solar-equipped on the same lines... There is less discussion of good works, but we will do it so that it increases encouragement," the Chief Minister stated.

Focusing on urban safety, the CM touted the successful implementation of Smart City technologies and LED lighting in the state, drawing a contrast with previous governments, saying, "For those who had the habit of pulling off robberies in the darkness of night, the darkness was just fine. We, however, are worshippers of the sun... We have put LED street lights in every municipal council".

"We have fully covered 18 municipal bodies as safe cities by integrating them with the Integrated Command and Control Center through CCTV," he said, further announcing, "We have decided that we will convert the city bus service into an electric bus service".
