KARACHI:

The People Bus Service (PBS) is providing air-conditioned commute during heatwave for only Rs50, said Sindh Transport Minister Sharjeel Inam Memon inaugurating a new route R-13 on Monday.

The inauguration ceremony, for the route from Hawke's Bay to Merewether Tower, was held at Hawke's Bay Zero Point. The event was attended by PPP MPA Liaquat Askani and other leaders.

Speaking to the media on the occasion, Sharjeel Memon said that the Sindh government aims to provide air-conditioned buses to people during heatwaves so that they can travel comfortably.

He said that along with inflation, the country faces many challenges, including ever increasing electricity prices and load-shedding.

"Although the policymaker at federal level is the PML-N, but as Pakistanis, we all share responsibility and we are working for the people," he added. Sharjeel Memon said that some quarters are spreading despair among the people, but I assure you there is no need for it.

"There are rumours that something significant will happen in the country in the next 15 or 20 days, but don't worry, nothing will happen," he remarked and added that masses and specially investors need not to worry; the government will continue to function.

He said that we will not allow any conspiracy against democratic process to succeed.
