Lahore High Court Order on Bike Scheme

The Lahore High Court has referred the motorcycle project to the NOC of the Environment Ministry. Without this approval, the court stopped the distribution of motorcycles. Justice Shahid Karim issued a five-page judgment in the previous hearing. This scheme envisages providing 20,000 motorcycles to the students.

The court said introducing a large number of motorcycles may have an adverse impact on the environment, so the Punjab government must seek approval from the Environment Ministry before starting the motorcycle project.

Delivery Date of Punjab Bikes Scheme

After the Lahore High Court decision, the Punjab government is yet to announce the delivery date of the bikes. The project remains on hold until the NOC is received from the Environment Ministry. However, it is expected that the delivery of the bikes will begin before the budget for FY 2024-25 once Punjab Bank completes all the processes and receives the NOC.
