LAHORE:
Chief Minister’s Special Monitoring Unit (Law and Order) will hold a ceremony in Sargodha on Tuesday to distribute certificates among 100 women on successful completion of their motorcycle driving training under the Women-on-Wheels (WoW) campaign.
The ceremony would be followed by a motorcycle rally where 30 of the 100 graduates would display their driving skills.
SMU (Law and Order) Senior Member Salman Sufi said that the campaign had been started to provide free training to women who wanted to learn motorcycle driving. He said this would enable women to travel on their own without relying on their male kin.
