The Lahore High Court linked on Friday the Punjab government’s initiative of distributing motorbikes among students to misuse by male students as Justice Shahid Karim remarked the vehicles could be used for one-wheeling and female harassment.
Justice Karim voiced concerns about male students potentially congregating outside girls’ colleges and indulging in unruly behaviour if students are provided with these bikes. Justice Karim has long heard different petitions about how smog could be controlled, society could be made pollution free and groundwater could be protected from wastage.
However, Justice Karim sought a report from the Punjab government by May 13 over the matter. During proceedings, a Judicial Water & Environment Commission member complained that the crop’s remnants were still being set ablaze. Another member added that PDMA was providing them with data, however it has not been provided as of late.
