Punjab police have decided to purchase hundreds of electric bikes to combat fuel shortage and save millions of rupees in fuel expenses every year.
The decision was taken in the wake of the recent fuel crisis that has badly affected the operations of the police across the province. Inspected General (IG) Punjab Police Dr. Usman Anwar confirmed the development to a local media outlet.
He said that he had approached the Caretaker Chief Minister Punjab Mohsin Naqvi regarding the fuel shortage his department is facing. Although Naqvi promised to release the required funds for fuel purchases, he also recommended the provincial police to shift electric vehicles.
IG Punjab said that following the CM’s suggestion, they have decided to purchase 200 electric bikes. He added that Rs. 30 million funds have been allocated for the purpose.
It should be noted that the Punjab police is facing severe fuel shortage and thousands of its vehicles are on the brink of running out of fuel. The crisis emerged after the caretaker government decided to significantly cut the budget for petrol, oil, and lubricants (POL) and extended the fiscal year’s quarter period by a month.

IDK, when majority of electricity is being produced with oil or coal, how will we save money in term of EVs which will be charged with oil/coal backed power plants? You need to change your energy source to green sources to save energy budget in future. Almost 47% energy consumers are typical houses. Due to the increase in bills, everyone is trying shift to renewable energy specially solar, but our policy makers are so idiot that they can’t make applicable policies. To install a green meter on a 10kw system, my installer is asking Rs180k while a 3kw-5kw will cost a min Rs1lac to speed up the process in your corrupt discos and their sub divisions. Why they can’t make a paperless process for this? Every country is providing subsidy for the installation and import of green energy products, why do we have taxes on inverters and who imposed taxes on solar panel imports last year? Western companies are shifting their factories to developing countries to overcome their labour cost in the west. china, india, vietnam, malaysia, taiwan, thailand are the hubs of these factories, so being a developing country why can’t our idiot bureaucracy make policies to attract these companies? I guess our big flop is the education system, when a BA pass after failing to secure private job or an armed forced battlefield personal becomes a bureaucrat so how can we expect a long term energy policy from our bureaucracy? These idiots are just trying to stop an elephant with it’s tail
