Under second route of EV bus service,  bus will ferry passengers from Al-Asif Market to Tank Chowk (Malir). He said that another EV bus service route from Baharia Town to Numaish Chowrangi via Tank Chowk would be launched on April 13.

Earlier, in tweet, PPP leader said, “Sindh government under direction of party’s leadership and CM Sindh is going to start new routes of buses for people of Karachi. Three new routes will start in current month of Ramadhan. Public can use now new fleet of EV buses.” However, this year in January government launched first route of electric bus service. Buses on route 1 run between Karachi Airport and Sea View. He extended Easter greetings to Christian community of Pakistan and world. Sindh government is giving Rs 2,000 to deserving families for purchasing 65 kilogram flour in this tough situation.

Sharjeel Memon said country is getting divided because of Imran Khan. This person is still pushing country towards destruction. He said a fake, deceitful, corrupt PM was removed from country legally while being within framework of Constitution. Imran Khan was only Prime Minister of country who was sent home according to practice of Parliament.

He said that Imran Khan’s party was only party which said criminal investigation should not be done against us. KPK BRT is enough to expose entire PTI. What is justification for not investigating Imran Khan? During Imran Khan’s tenure, Election Commission was also involved in fraudulent method. He said no one has spread polarisation in country in history of Pakistan. There is lot of pressure on economy because of Imran, he tried to create split in institutions.

Sindh government does not want to put any kind of burden on people of Sindh. They want people whose salary is less than 50,000 to be provided with Rs 65 per kg of flour.
