The Ministry of Housing arid Urban Affairs has accepted the recommendations of the Awards Selection Committee for best practice projects in urban transport and has decided to confer Commendable Initiative award for the project on "Revival of Manipur State Transport (MST)" under the category of "Best City Bus Service" .
An official intimation towards this has been received at the office of the Manipur State Transport.
The award shall be given by the Minister of Energy, New and Renewal Energy, Government of Maharashtra during the valedictory session of the 11th Urban Mobility India Conference and Exhibition conference to be held on November 4 from 4.30 pm to 6 pm at the Chitnavis Centre, Nagpur.
Significantly MST was revived after the BJP led Government came to power in 2017 by inducting 10 semi-low floor buses and 5 ordinary buses.
On October 24 this year, 8 more ordinary buses were added to the MST fleet in the 2nd phase.
12 more such buses are set to be inducted in the fleet next month and the order to procure them has already been issued.
