      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;In a significant move to advance its Electric Vehicles (EV) Policy, the government has announced the installation of EV charging stations at every petrol pump in Islamabad.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This decision was made during the fourth meeting on the &lt;a href="https://english.aaj.tv/news/amp/30318853"&gt;EV Policy&lt;/a&gt;, chaired by Federal Minister Rana Tanveer Hussain.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The minister directed the Capital Development Authority (CDA) to ensure that charging stations are set up at all petrol stations throughout the capital and praised the authority for its progress.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;He revealed plans to provide free electric bikes to the top 120 students from the Federal Board, alongside offering 39,000 &lt;a href="https://english.aaj.tv/news/amp/30260099"&gt;electric bikes&lt;/a&gt; and 19,000 electric rickshaws through subsidized loans to encourage EV adoption.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The meeting also discussed the development of 40 &lt;a href="https://english.aaj.tv/news/330386157/changan-unveils-lumin-electric-vehicle-see-specifications"&gt;charging&lt;/a&gt; stations along motorways and national highways, emphasizing the importance of transparency through digitalization of the entire process.&lt;/p&gt;
