The Social Justice Department is expediting steps to provide e-autos for free to mothers of children with specific disabilities who hail from financially weak backgrounds. The scheme has been included in the 100-day plan of the second Pinarayi Vijayan-led Left Democratic Front government. The initial proposal was to provide free e-rickshaws that cost ₹1.75 lakh each. However, following talks with Kerala Automobiles Limited, it was decided to replace the e-rickshaws that reportedly were not very successful with e-autos that cost more — nearly ₹3 lakh for one vehicle.More Related News
