Mehbooba enjoys scooty ride; says it gives feel of "freedom", "control" in life 9/9/2016 11:07:19 PM Early Times Report Jammu, Sept 9: Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti today said riding a scooty gives a feel of "freedom" and wished to have one. "Whenever I travel by car and see girls riding scooties, I feel happy and it is pleasure to see them moving freely," Mehbooba said after handing over 300 scooties to girls in twin women colleges here. The Chief Minister said riding scooties is really like having 'freedom' and "control" in their lives while moving in open air without any restrictions. She, however, desired that she would love to have one and wished to ride freely on streets. Mehbooba also had a ride on the scooty. She sat as pillion rider on a two-wheeler at Government College for Women, Parade and had round in the main bazar. She also asked the girls to wear helmet and follow traffic rules. The state government today handed over 300 (150 each) scooties to women in both the colleges. The government had tied up with Yamaha and the scooties were purchased on 50 per cent subsidy. Meanwhile, the Chief Minister also asked the girls to be always brave and bold. "Never hide any kind of harassment they face. Fight against it without worrying about the society," she said while encouraging the college girls.   Share This News with Your Friends on Social Network     Comment on this Story
