He announced plans to gradually convert all public transport vehicles to electric and assured drivers there would be "no harassment" from authorities.
He also promised to withdraw a government order related to fines but urged drivers to follow traffic rules, noting that CCTV surveillance would ensure accountability. "Your disciplined nature will lead to the development of tourism and improvement of law and order," he said.
