The West Bengal government has removed 151 newly purchased cars from its fleet after a breakdown incident prompted a review of vehicle status.
The West Bengal government announced the removal of 151 newly acquired cars from its official fleet following a breakdown incident that raised concerns about vehicle condition.
The clearance, carried out by the transport department, came after a comprehensive inspection of the fleet revealed several vehicles were defective or no longer fit for service.
The 151 cars, part of a recent procurement drive to modernise the state’s transport assets, are being scrapped or sold to recover costs and uphold safety standards.
Officials said the move is part of a broader effort to improve fleet management and reduce maintenance costs, and they will continue to monitor vehicle performance closely.
