The electric bus journey was a part of the government’s commitment to promoting sustainable transportation and raising awareness about eco-friendly urban mobility. The initiative marks a step forward in reducing the capital's carbon emissions and promoting clean energy alternatives.

Flagged off by PM Modi earlier this morning, the DEVI bus is part of a broader green mobility initiative aimed at encouraging the use of electric vehicles in urban India. The Prime Minister, in his address, highlighted the importance of collective action for environmental protection and emphasized India's leadership in clean energy transition.

Speaking on the occasion, CM Rekha Gupta said, "Delhi is committed to becoming a green capital. The DEVI initiative is a reflection of our dedication towards combating pollution and making our city more breathable for future generations."

Union Minister Bhupender Yadav called the move "a practical shift towards sustainable development," while Manjinder Singh Sirsa added that the Environment Ministry is working closely with Delhi’s government to enhance EV infrastructure across the city.

The joint participation of central and state leaders on this global day of environmental action sends a strong message of collaboration and urgency in addressing climate change.
