New Delhi:
Indian car market leader Maruti Suzuki Tuesday said it has handed
over the first lot of environment-friendly cars to the Delhi
government for use during the Commonwealth Games (CWG).
The cars, which include two Hybrid SX4 cars and one electric 'Eeco'
multi-utility vehicle (MUV), were handed over to Delhi Transport
Minister Arvinder Singh Lovely.
"Maruti Suzuki is happy to be associated with the Commonwealth
Games national initiative through these vehicles," said Shinzo
Nakanishi, managing director and chief executive of Maruti Suzuki
India Ltd.
The company will provide a total of 14 future technology vehicles
as demonstration fleet for the games, including 10 Hybrid SX4 and
four electrical 'Eeco Charge' vehicles.
According to the company, the development of these vehicles has
been taken up as a part of the government's and Society of Indian
Automobile Manufacturers' (SIAM) coordinated National Hybrid
Propulsion Programme (NHPP) and High Energy Density Battery
Development Programme.
The company recently launched five of its car models like Alto,
Estilo and WagonR with factory fitted CNG engines.

Due to the threats of riot and
terror attacks, the festive season in India
nowadays results in sleepless nights for the security
personnel.
Against this backdrop, the show of communal harmony in Malegaon by Ajantha Mandal cannot be more timely. The Mandal
in a large hoarding portrays the real picture of the Muslim
dominated textile town in North Maharashtra. It shows,
Malegaon is where Azan in a Masjid and Shunkh
in a Mandir go simultaneously. To further make its point,
the Mandal plays communal harmony songs on a cassette-player
in its full sound.
