Depending on the seriousness of the incident, the offenders could be imprisoned for three to seven years.

Anyone found to be involved in any linked activity, including kite manufacturers and distributors, could be fined between Rs500,000 and Rs5 million.

A punishment of Rs. 5 million, five to seven years in prison, or both might be imposed on kite manufacturers or suppliers.

In case of a child, the violator will be fined Rs50,000 for the first time and Rs100,000 for repeating the crime.

Penalties for using life-threatening twine and flying kites have been announced by the Punjab government. Several casualties are reported in parts of Punjab due to use of dangerous thread.

With major assistance from the Special Investment Facilitation Council (SIFC), Pakistan’s EV industry is expanding, and the government has announced plans to install 10,000 charging stations nationwide by 2030.

A 44% decrease in electricity tariffs for EV charging stations and the provision of $90 million for the development of charging infrastructure are only two of the significant milestones that the project has already accomplished. ADM Group, a Chinese company, has pledged $250 million to build an electric vehicle manufacturing plant in Pakistan.

According to industry standards, the next generation of electric vehicles that are scheduled for production will be able to go up to 300 kilometers between charges. In an effort to improve environmental sustainability, the government has put new rules for EV charging infrastructure into effect.

To date, the nation’s EV industry has received $250 million in private investment thanks to SIFC’s facilitation. The national EV strategy is being implemented by the council in collaboration with the government, ushering in a new era of ecologically friendly transportation in Pakistan.

It is anticipated that switching to electric vehicles will result in significant fuel import savings and a decrease in carbon emissions, supporting international environmental activities. Standards for the expanding EV ecosystem are intended to be established by the government’s regulations governing charging infrastructure.

The project is a component of a larger plan to create environmentally friendly transportation choices in Pakistan. According to officials, the lower electricity costs for charging stations will contribute to the increased consumer accessibility of electric vehicles.
