Sindh Information and Transport Minister Sharjeel Inam Memon has announced that the provincial government will provide Pakistan’s first electric pink scooters exclusively for women.
Sharing details, he said that in the first phase, the Sindh government received around 10,000 applications for the scooters.
Out of these, 150 women already held driving licenses, while the rest applied for learning permits.
Memon added that the Karachi Metropolitan Corporation (KMC) has partnered with the Sindh government in this initiative.
Under the arrangement, KMC will provide motorcycle training to women and cover the fees for their driving licenses.
He further stated that if applications exceed 1,000 scooters, the government will conduct a balloting process to ensure fair distribution.
