Electric vehicle-based shuttle service for girls soon: Punjab CM

Mann said that the state government will soon launch an exclusive electric vehicle-based shuttle service for the girls. He said that this service will be launched in major cities of the state – Patiala, Ludhiana, Amritsar and others. Mann said that this is a step forward towards ensuring best public transport for the girls in these major cities.

While exhorting the girls to come forward and play a decisive role in the field of active politics, he said that it was the need of hour for ensuring effective decision and law making process in the state. He said that politics has impact on every field of life and if the girls come forward in this field then they will definitely play a key role in the progress and prosperity of the country.

Girls are an asset for the society and they can prove to be efficient lawmakers too, Mann said, adding that during the 2022 assembly polls, 11 woman MLAs had registered massive victories from their party. He said that of these 11, two lawmakers have been elevated as ministers in his Cabinet. Apart from it, for the first time in the history of the state, five woman SSPs and seven woman DCs have been appointed in different districts, he said. Six exclusive women police stations have been established in the state, the CM said, adding that very soon all the districts will have such police stations.

Mann said that attaining marks or high percentage should not be the only goal of the students. The aim of education must be to ensure holistic development of the students. The students should also be thankful to their parents and especially teachers for grooming them for further competitions, Mann added.
