April 26- Kathmandu- Due to the lack of charging stations, 37 electric buses of sajha yatayat have been stuck for 4 months without any service.

Even though 3 out of the 40 buses purchased by Sajha Yatayat are operating with chargers in their own premises, 37 buses are still stuck without service.

Kanakmani Dixit, Chairman of Sajha Yatayat Cooperative, has said that charging depots are necessary for running all buses, and despite repeated requests to the Office of the Prime Minister and Council of Ministers, the Ministry of Physical Infrastructure and Transport, and the Ministry of Cooperatives and Poverty Alleviation, the land has not been available for bus charging depots.

On the other hand, the Ministry of Physical Infrastructure and Transport has been blaming the Sajha Yatayat mismanagement saying that, ‘Why didn’t they make a plan on how to operate those buses before they buy ?’
