Transport Minister Satyendar Jain has planned the scheme under which 'gramin sewa', 'phat-phat sewa' and 'eco-friendly sewa' would be clubbed, sources said.
As per the plan, only air-conditioned cabs will be given permits by the transport department and the scheme is expected to be introduced in the next few months.
