Aiming to conserve the environment in Queen of Hills, the Himachal Pradesh government on Wednesday constituted the Green Mobility Committee to decarbonise Shimla transport.
A state government official said a Green Mobility Committee to monitor and promote sustainable mobility solutions for decarbonizing transport in Shimla.
“The Committee would meet once in every quarter and it will develop a sustainable mobility plan with enhanced uptake of electric vehicles to support decarbonization of Shimla City.
It will work with the objective to help in vision setting, serve as a forum for inter-department collaboration and facilitate buy-in from stakeholders.
It will also support in organising workshops and capacity building programs, help in defining the action plan with timelines besides merging the existing schemes to expedite the project execution,” he added.
It is worth mentioning here that the erstwhile capital of Britishers is facing severe impacts of global warming as Shimla continues to receive lesser snowfall every year since the 90s.
