Memon said the initiative marks a revolutionary step toward women\u2019s empowerment, aiming to provide safe, affordable, and dignified travel options. He noted that the program would particularly benefit women who rely on public transport for education, employment, or daily needs. The minister emphasized that the scheme would save time, reduce travel expenses, and create a secure commuting environment for women. Applications and data of eligible women and students are being managed through the Sindh Mass Transit Authority. Memon further added that scooties would be allocated based on merit and need, through a transparent mechanism developed by the provincial government. He urged women, especially students and working professionals, to take full advantage of this facility, stressing that the government\u2019s aim is to ensure women\u2019s independence and participation in all walks of life.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>KARACHI(National times)- The Sindh government has announced that it will distribute free electric scooties to women and female students this week under the &#8220;Pink Scooties Programme.&#8221;
