Ever wondered if you find an auto in this scorching heat which provides water to drink and is also environment-friendly. Too much to ask? but not really as an auto like this is a reality. In Bengaluru, there is an auto owned by Narayan V which keeps water for the commuters to beat the heat.
He has put some plants in the auto and has turned it into a mini auto. Narayan V said that he came up with this idea so that his passengers can feel good about the city. In a report published in Banglore Mirror, Narayan said, “First, I started supplying water in cans at the Majestic bus stop. It was going well for a while, but the water was getting over too soon and I had to keep filling it over and over again. Also, sometimes people stole the cans in the night,” he said.
As summers set in, days started getting hotter, Narayan said, “Then I thought, why not have plants and small saplings in my auto, which would give a natural AC feeling?”

He said many of his passengers like the idea of putting trees in the auto and encouraged him for doing this. Some tell him to put plants with flowers and give other ideas also. Some of them also ask him to give the saplings and at times he also hands out to them
Emphasising on the importance of plants, he said, “they are the major source of oxygen so I wanted to keep them in my auto to make it environment- friendly”.
