Caretaker Chief Minister of Punjab Mohsin Naqvi unveiled the 'Green Wheels' program, an ambitious initiative aimed at transforming the province's commuting landscape.
This innovative project will provide 10,000 electric bikes and rickshaws to the public on favourable terms, completely interest-free.
Addressing the media, Chief Minister Naqvi shed light on the key features of the 'Green Wheels' initiative. The program will allocate 2,000 electric three-wheeler bikes to special individuals, completely free of interest.
An additional 2,000 electric bikes have been designated for government employees, with another 2,000 set aside for women in both government and private sectors, all provided without interest.
A notable aspect of this initiative is the paradigm shift in government procurement policies. Chief Minister Naqvi announced a ban on the acquisition of fuel motorcycles at the government level.
Henceforth, government departments will exclusively procure electric bikes, aligning with the global trend towards sustainable and environmentally friendly transportation solutions.
Emphasising the provincial government's dedication to addressing environmental concerns, Naqvi called on citizens to embrace the 'Green Wheels' opportunity.
He highlighted the collective contribution towards creating a greener and cleaner future for Punjab.
