Good initiative, but the real test is maintenance and proper utilization. We've seen many such projects start with a bang and then the vehicles lie unused due to lack of charging infra or repairs. Fingers crossed this one works out.

Clean, smart, and green vision is much needed. However, alongside new vehicles, we also need a change in public mindset regarding waste disposal. Civic sense is equally important for a clean city.

As someone living in Lucknow, the waste management here needs serious improvement. These new vehicles are a welcome sight. Hope they are deployed efficiently in all wards, not just the posh areas.
