He observed that major projects such as Shahrah-e-Bhutto in Karachi had been completed under public-private partnership, which had received national and international appreciation.He recalled that when the Pink Scooty scheme was launched, the number of women holding motorbike driving licenses in Sindh was negligible.

However, he pointed out, presently thousands of women were applying for driving licenses, which also reflected a positive social change.

Memon clarified that those scooties were strictly for use of women riders, warning that if any man was found riding those vehicles strict action would be taken. According to the minister, the scooties given by the provincial government to women could not be sold for a period of 7 years. The ceremony was also attended by MPA Imdad Pitafi, Deputy Mayor Sagheer Qureshi, MD SMTA Salimullah Odho, DIG Hyderabad, DC and SSP Hyderabad.
