With the aim of making public services more advanced, digitalized, and smooth, the Punjab government is also embarking on making daily commutes easy for students, especially for women. Recently, the Chief Minister of Punjab, Maryam Nawaz, came up with an “electric bike initiative” for students. However, the new update is about installing e-bike charging stations for women.
This program outlines a plan to place charging facilities in collaboration with the Bank of Punjab (BoP). Deputy Commissioner (DC) Lahore, Rafia Haider, has endorsed the design and site selection, with a focus on public areas such as Liberty Parking Plaza.
Previously, DC Haider rubbished the plan to set up e-bike charging station at Liberty Chowk prioritizing the locations like women universities and colleges to make the process convenient for them. She argued that establishing the e-stations at Liberty Chowk would worsen traffic congestion and offer little public advantage.
plan to fast-track the approval process for private sector charging stations was presented to the District Commissioner by Asad Zia, Head of Marketing at the Bank of Punjab. The plan includes allocating suitable sites for these stations.
Distribution Of Electric Bikes
Earlier this month, the government distributed electric bike among the students. For this purpose, the provincial government arranged an inauguration ceremony. The centerpiece of the event was the inauguration of the Chief Minister’s Youth Initiative “E-bike program.”
Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz kicked off the “Chief Minister’s Youth Initiative E-bike program,” making electric bikes more accessible to students by covering half the down payment (Rs. 20,000 of a Rs. 40,000 cost). This eco-friendly move also saw over 8,000 female students getting two-wheeled thumbs up – they’ll all receive e-bikes!
Get ready for cleaner air, Punjab! The government is transitioning to electric vehicles. The launch event itself saw the introduction of the Vehicle Inspection Regime for Private Vehicle Project and awarding the first license for manufacturing e-loader rickshaws to Nawawa Mobilizers Company.
