Walton Digi-Tech Industries Limited has provided four electric bicycles (e-bikes) to be used in various government offices, including the Prime Minister’s office. The offices receiving these e-bikes are Ganabhaban, the Road Transport and Highways Division, and the Bangladesh Road Transport Authority (BRTA).
