Project being implemented under government’s e-mobility promotion initiative
In order to enhance clean mobility and with more people opting for electric vehicles in the wake of rising fuel prices, the Renewable Energy and Energy Savings (REES) wing of the Kerala State Electricity Board (KSEB) has decided to launch 1,140 pole-mounted charging stations across the State.
The decision follows the successful launch of 10 pole-mounted charging stations on a pilot basis in Kozhikode to support two- and three-wheelers. The project is implemented under the State government’s e-mobility promotion initiative.
Once tenders are issued, pole-mounted chargers will be installed within six months, a senior REES official told The Hindu.
Around 440 MBBS graduates of 2021 are not required to undergo one year of compulsory rural service as per the bond signed by them while joining the medical course through government-quota seats in 2015 as the High Court of Karnataka has said the law, enacted in 2012 for mandatory rural service, remained unenforced for 10 years as it was published in the official gazette only in July 2022.
