These electric carts will give an opportunity to the elderly and needy people going to Sri Darbar Sahib to reach smoothly.
Sachkhand Sri Harmandir Sahib (Golden Temple) is the spiritual centre where lakhs of devotees from all over the world pay obeisance every day. The experience of visiting can be difficult for the physically challenged and senior citizens. Recognizing this challenge, AU Small Finance Bank has taken this effective initiative to enhance the facility for senior citizens with limited mobility. These electronic vehicles will be available for the convenience of the devotees.
In addition to the e-carts, a charging station was built to charge them and a e-cart station for the sangat to sit. This station is right in front of Sri Guru Arjan Dev Saran. These vehicles will be run by the Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee.
