Jaipur Walled City Goes Pink: 250 E-Rickshaws Replace 9,000 for Jam-Free Traffic

• Jaipur Walled City implements a new traffic system, replacing 9,000 old e-rickshaws with 250 new ones.
• Only 'pink' e-rickshaws, selected via a transparent lottery from 717 applicants, are now authorized to operate.
• The Walled City's Zone 7 is divided into five sub-zones (7A-7E), with 50 e-rickshaws assigned to each, plus 5 reserved.
• The move aims to permanently solve severe traffic congestion caused by the previous uncontrolled e-rickshaw operations.
• Traffic police will seize any non-pink e-rickshaws found operating in the Walled City, ensuring strict compliance.
