Under the direction of Chief Minister Mr. Bhupesh Baghel, the Finance Department has approved Rs 33 crore for its purchase. These vehicles will be sent to all the 33 districts of the state. In the year 2018, this scheme was implemented in 11 districts. For this, 252 vehicles were purchased. Most of the vehicles purchased in the year 2018 have completed their mileage and some vehicles will complete it in the next few months.
