In Sindh, Chief Minister Murad Ali Shah introduced the Sindh fuel subsidy, confirming that registered motorcycle owners will receive Rs2,000 per month. This Rs2,000 bikers subsidy is aimed at helping daily commuters manage rising fuel costs.
Murad Ali Shah said the plan focuses on targeted relief instead of general subsidies. Under the Sindh fuel subsidy, bike owners must register their vehicles to receive the payment, which will be transferred after verification.
Meanwhile, in Punjab, the government rolled out Punjab free transport across the province. Under this Punjab free transport initiative, citizens can travel without tickets on major services like metro buses and trains.
The Punjab free transport plan is being seen as immediate relief for people struggling with daily travel expenses. Officials believe it will also encourage the use of public transport instead of private vehicles.
