The newly launched Chief Minister Rural Bus Service Scheme (CMRBS) will provide public transport services in remote areas of Chhattisgarh, covering 250 villages in the first phase, a government official said on Sunday.

In the first phase, the scheme will cover villages in the tribal-dominated Bastar and Surguja divisions, and services will begin on 34 routes with 34 buses, connecting 250 villages across 11 districts, it said. The move will also generate local employment opportunities, the official said.

"The CMRBS is aimed at simplifying rural life and connecting villages to towns. It is not just about providing transport facilities but also about strengthening the rural economy," Chief Minister Vishnu Deo Sai said.
