Lucknow, 10

March (HS): The cabinet meeting, chaired by Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath,

held at Lok Bhavan on Tuesday, approved 30 important proposals, including the

Chief Minister's Village Transport Scheme 2026. Following the meeting, Finance

and Parliamentary Affairs Minister Suresh Khanna, Transport Minister

Dayashankar Singh, and Revenue Minister Ravindra Jaiswal provided information

about the cabinet decisions.

The Yogi

Adityanath government of Uttar Pradesh has decided to provide buses to all 59

thousand gram sabhas of the state. Transport Minister Dayashankar Singh gave

this information after the Chief Minister Gram Parivahan Yojana 2026 proposal

was approved in the cabinet meeting held in Lok Bhavan on Tuesday. He said that

now buses will pass through every gram sabha of the state. Currently, buses are

not able to reach about 12 thousand gram sabhas. It has been decided to provide

buses to those villages. The Uttar Pradesh Transport Corporation has three

thousand buses.

Small

buses will be operated in rural areas, with a capacity of 28 seats. Private

buses will be operated through contracts. A five-member committee headed by the

District Magistrate will determine fares based on the local situation.

District-wise committees will contract buses for their respective districts.

Bus operating times will be determined based on public needs, so that villagers

can reach the district headquarters on time, complete their work, and return to

their villages on time.

Dayashankar

Singh said that now companies like Ola and Uber will have to register with the

Uttar Pradesh Transport Corporation. Every five years they will have to renew

their registration by paying a fee of five thousand rupees. This will provide

complete information about such vehicles plying on the state's roads. The

Transport Corporation will also create an app. It will contain complete

information about Ola and Uber vehicles and their drivers. Ola and Uber will

also have to create an app. This app will be available to the general public.

He said that there is no bus of UPSRTC which does not have a GPS system

installed. All the buses are being fully monitored.

The Stamp

and Registration Department's proposal has been approved. Now, the property

seller's identity will be verified in the land records. The Stamp Registration

Department will now verify ownership. The Stamp and Registration Department will

no longer register without verifying ownership. Department Minister Ravindra

Jaiswal stated that stamp duty will be charged based on the circle rate. A two

percent development fee will be payable separately within municipal limits.
