Balochistan Chief Minister Mir Sarfraz Bugti has announced the launch of the Pink Scooty and Electric Bikes scheme, designed to provide modern and affordable travel solutions for students, youth, and working women across the province. This program aims to empower women and young people by addressing their daily commuting challenges through subsidized scooters and bikes.
Under the initiative, female students of universities, colleges, and schools, as well as working women, will receive pink scooters to promote independence and self-reliance. Male students will be eligible for electric bikes. The government plans to finalize a comprehensive policy to ensure an efficient and transparent process for distributing these vehicles. A special committee, led by the Secretary of Finance, will oversee the criteria for awarding them.
