They will bring down cost of running and also reduce pollution, says Minister.
The first CNG bus hit the roads of Kolkata on Monday — more than two decades after such buses began running in Delhi.

This will bring down cost of running buses and also reduce pollution,” Mr. Hakim said after the launch.More Related News
