Ludhiana's municipal corporation is facing scrutiny for purchasing 800 new cycle-carts for garbage collection while 80 GPS-equipped e-rickshaws, bought for over ₹9 crore, remain untraced since February. Despite a legislative committee's inquiry into the missing vehicles, officials state some have been located but a few are still missing. Residents and activists question the new expenditure, demanding accountability for the untraced e-rickshaws before new purchases are made.
