KP to launch merit-based EV bike scheme for women

The Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) government has announced a merit-based electric bike scheme for female college and university students and working women across the province to promote clean transportation and safer mobility.

Addressing the 57th meeting of the provincial cabinet, officials said the first phase of the electric vehicle (EV) bike scheme would be launched soon. The electric bikes will be distributed strictly on merit among eligible female students and working women.
