Whatsapp:0325-0015533 The Punjab government has officially approved a major plan to manufacture electric buses locally. Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz recently gave the final green light to this project. Consequently, Heavy Industries Taxila (HIT) is preparing to establish a dedicated production unit in Taxila. This initiative represents a massive leap toward a self-reliant and eco-friendly Pakistan. Currently, the provincial government pays roughly $220,000 to import a single electric bus. However, local production will slash this cost down to approximately $150,000 per unit. Therefore, the province will save billions of rupees. Moreover, this strategic move drastically reduces the heavy national bill on vehicle imports and drives broader economic independence. The Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government has decided to set up its own Rescue 1122 Emergency Services Academy in Khyber tribal district to provide professional training to officers and field workers for prompt service delivery. The academy will be set up at Shakus in Tehsil Bara of Khyber tribal district with an estimated cost of Rs3.1 billion on a 300 kanal piece of land, officials in Rescue 1122 told APP. The project has been approved by Provincial Working Development Party and work on it would soon start. Shakus is located west of Peshawar’s Hayatabad Township where vast land is available for the academy’s construction. Initially, 600 Rescue 1122 workers and cadets will be trained for this emergency service.
