Chandigarh Administration is planning to introduce e-carts at Sukhna Lake in order to assist elderly and physically challenged persons.
An official said, “The facility would be provided free of cost and preference would be given to senior citizens and physically challenged persons. Each battery-operated cart will have a seating capacity of eight and it will be available at the main entry and exit points of the lake.”
The e-carts will have safety features such as fire extinguisher, first-aid kit and speed governor to regulate the speed of the cart.
The Administration had already launched free battery-operated carts to ferry visitors around the market areas in Sector 17 nearly a year ago. Nearly 10 carts were made available, which are enabled with GPS tracking, LED screens, speakers and magazine holder.
