KARACHI: Sindh Senior Minister Sharjeel Inam Memon announced that the provincial government plans to launch Electric Vehicle (EV) taxis to create employment opportunities for unemployed youth.
Speaking at a press conference, he stated that the government was the first to introduce EV buses, followed by the Pink bus service. Work is underway on the Red Line and Yellow Line BRT projects. All Sindh government departments are actively working in their respective areas to serve the public.
He stated that the government is working to provide free electricity to the people through solarisation. Furthermore, houses are being built for 2.1 million people. The government is making efforts to offer the best possible facilities in health and education.
He stated that there are attempts to create chaos and anarchy in the country. He emphasised that when governments are elected, their responsibility is to serve the people and address the needs of their constituencies. The priority of elected governments should be to fulfil the expectations of the people.
Memon said that the public is not concerned about political positioning; they are only worried about having their problems solved in this era of inflation. Businesspeople, farmers, labourers, and people from all walks of life in the country are seeking relief.

He stated that Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari has been clear about water projects, emphasising that nothing controversial should be undertaken and that issues should be resolved through negotiations. As long as there are objections from any province regarding a project, such a project should not be initiated.
He said unfortunately, over 90 martyrs have lost their lives in a province, asking where their Chief Minister is right now? He questioned the current use of the government’s machinery and resources by that chief minister, adding attack on the federal capital is their priority.
Memon said that there are families mourning the loss of their loved ones, yet no one from the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government is willing to visit them.
He said that the people completely rejected the call for protest on November 24. No citizen came out voluntarily to support their protest.
He mentioned that the Sindh Chief Minister has written letters to the federal government on the matter of new canals and noted that the Sindh government has always taken a strong stance on controversial projects.
