State Minister for Local Government Mir Shahe Alam has said battery-powered rickshaws will be brought under a registration system.
However, the batteries of the rickshaws must be recharged using solar power to qualify for registration.
He made the remarks while responding to journalists at an event at the Secretariat on Monday.
The state minister said the autorickshaws would be brought under registration. However, any rickshaw whose battery is recharged through a source other than solar power, will not be registered.
