The Sindh Government has decided to provide free electric motorcycles to women in a bid to ease their transportation during professional duties.
The Department of Transport, Government of Sindh, will distribute 1,200 electric motorcycles annually, with 100 women receiving them every month.
In a bid to enhance mobility and support women’s participation in the workforce, the department has sought Rs300million for the Electric Vehicle (EV) motorcycle scheme.
According to the Transport Department, the motorcycles will be allocated to women through a lucky draw system.
The approval of this EV motorcycle scheme is set to be included in the agenda of the Sindh Cabinet meeting scheduled for February 27. The meeting will also approve the required Rs30million for the scheme.
