The black-and-yellow autorickshaws in Belagavi city have turned with a green-and-yellow paint .
To create green awareness, the transport department issued an order in April – 2017 that all autorickshaws in Belagavi City Corpoartion limits should change their lower section’s black colour to green. The upper part will continue to yellow. As of today 70-80% of autorikshaws turned Green.
