Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz Sharif has announced a revised schedule for the distribution of electric bikes to students, stating that the first phase of the scheme will now commence in December instead of November.
Maryam Nawaz made this announcement on Tuesday, November 10, while addressing a ceremony in Jhelum held for the distribution of laptops and the 'Honhar' (Merit-based) Scholarship. She explained that the government had initially planned to begin the distribution of electric bikes on November 5; however, the schedule had to be adjusted due to the large number of bikes being prepared.
Instructions for Students: Helmets and Riding Training
The Chief Minister urged students who applied for the scheme to undergo proper training before riding the bikes and emphasized the necessity of wearing helmets for their own safety.
She noted that the electric scooter scheme aims to facilitate the daily commute of students, particularly those who face difficulties in traveling to their educational institutions.
Maryam Nawaz also underscored the importance of road safety, instructing students to ride responsibly and adhere to traffic laws.
Second Phase of the Electric Bike Scheme
The Punjab government initiated the second phase of the electric bike scheme for students in September 2026, under which plans have been made to provide electric bikes to eligible applicants.
