Active Chief Minister!

Tamil Nadu Chief Minister C. Joseph Vijay has won widespread praise across social media after approving the procurement of 1,000 new air-conditioned electric buses for Chennai’s Metropolitan Transport Corporation (MTC), delivering a major boost to everyday public transit comfort and green mobility! Alongside clearing the 1,000 AC e-buses under the Gross Cost Contract (GCC) model, the Chief Minister also sanctioned ₹500 crore to upgrade electrical charging stations and mechanical support infrastructure across city bus depots. Currently, MTC operates 755 electric buses in Chennai—only 355 of which are air-conditioned—meaning the new addition will take the city's electric fleet to 1,755 buses and dramatically expand cool, emission-free commuting options for daily passengers. Supporters and daily commuters across Tamil Nadu have hailed the move on X and Instagram as a practical, people-first governance step that directly eases travel for ordinary citizens while modernizing urban transport and cutting pollution!
