The government of Punjab will be launching another cab scheme following the success of the Apna Rozgar scheme launched a few years ago.
Called the “Orange Cab Scheme” the government will provide 100,000 unemployed youth with jobs under this initiative. This was announced in a tweet by the Govt. of Punjab where Chief Minister Shahbaz Sharif was quoted saying,
Orange Cab Scheme will be launched this year. As per the scheme, one lac cars will be given to unemployed youth.
He added that the framework of the Orang Scheme should be based on an electronic system to avoid corruption or mismanagement of any sort.
Previously the government launched a Yellow Cab scheme during their previous tenure which had thousands of unemployed individuals receive taxis and cabs.
This time around the scheme was known as “Apna Rozgar scheme” and provided around 50,000 cars for the general public. The Chief Minister was quoted in a tweet by the Govt. of Punjab saying,
Government gave 50,000 cars to unemployed youth under Apna Rozgar Scheme
Punjab government is known for its focus on expanding the road infrastructure across the province. If the scheme turns out to be successful we may see a rising number of cars in Punjab.
Punjab government is yet to reveal details on how to grab these cars.
