By Ram Kinkar Singh: Among several initiatives to spruce up the capital city to host important G-20 meetings, the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) has launched a project for charging electric vehicles through e-charging stations at various places in Delhi. This has been done to ensure that people using e-vehicles do not face problems on their way if the batteries of the vehicles get discharged.
