Around 1,000 battery-operated rickshaws will be on call during the event if a proposal with the Delhi government comes through.

“The proposal is that 1,000 battery- operated rickshaws should be run in the Commonwealth Games village and the rest of the capital during the Games,” said Irfan Alam of the Bihar-based NGO Sammaan Foundation, which works for the uplift of rickshaw pullers and has mooted the idea.

“We are in talks with the Delhi government and other agencies about this project and hopefully things should come through in the next three months,” Alam told IANS.
