Over 12 lakh women used the free bus travel facility in Andhra Pradesh within the first 30 hours of the launch of ‘Stree Shakti’ scheme, an official source has said.
Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu launched ‘Stree Shakti’ (women’s power) August 15 at Pandit Nehru Bus Station in Vijayawada. The scheme offers free travel on select bus services to all girls, women and transgender persons holding Andhra Pradesh domicile status.
“Stree Shakti free bus service launched by the Andhra Pradesh government is a grand success. In the past 30 hours, over 12 lakh women travelled free of cost in APSRTC buses,” the source told PTI Saturday.
Incidentally, the Chief Minister is keenly reviewing the free bus service regularly while it has been estimated that the beneficiaries have saved up to Rs 5 crore on the first day of ‘Stree Shakti’ implementation.
