Speaking at the “Women on Wheels” initiative ceremony held at Police Lines Qila Gujar Singh, he said that up until now, more than 7,000 women had been trained to drive motorcycles, while the 67th batch of women was under training at the Women on Wheels School at the LOS Rescue Academy.

The CTO said that motorcycle riding training would be given to women free of cost at Police Lines Qila Gujar Singh from today onward.

He continued by saying that the goal of the “Women on Wheels” project was to empower women so they could make a meaningful contribution to the development and prosperity of the nation.

According to Dr Asad Malhi, women’s roles alongside those of males are crucial for societal development, hence it is necessary to implement measures for their welfare and capacity growth.

Additionally, the CTP established a driving school in Manawan Lines where women received free instruction in motorbike and car operation, according to the CTO, who said that after completing the training programme, the women were also given driving permits.

According to Dr Asad Malhi, residents can contact Helpline 15 to request admission to driving schools, advice from the Rasta app, or access to CTP’s social media.

Honda Atlas presented two brand-new motorcycles to Driving School Police Lines Qila Gujar Singh during the ceremony, and the CTO also demonstrated how to operate a motorcycle on a simulator.
