New Delhi: Many schemes for women are being run by the Delhi government. Recently, the government has launched Mahila Samriddhi Yojana to provide financial assistance to women. Under this scheme, women of Delhi will be given two and a half thousand rupees every month. This scheme has been launched with the aim of empowering women financially.
Free bus travel plan
When the Aam Aadmi Party was in power in 2019, the then Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal gave women a free journey in bus. In Delhi, any woman can travel anywhere by DTC bus without giving tickets. However, it is necessary to follow certain rules to avail this facility.
What is the rule of free travel?
Millions of women are getting the benefit of this scheme of Delhi government. Women can travel free in DTC bus on any route in Delhi, but they have to take a slip for this. This slip is like a ticket, but no woman has to pay any payment to get it.
Importance of pink slip
It is mandatory for women traveling in DTC buses to take a pink slip ie ‘pink slip’ for free travel. This slip is provided by the conductor present in the bus and has a record of women traveling free of cost.
What if Pink did not take slip?
According to DTC rules, if a woman does not take a pink slip during a free journey, she may have to pay a fine. Employees who check tickets in DTC buses can impose a fine of up to Rs 200 on a woman traveling without pink slip.
conclusion
This initiative of the Delhi government is a major step to empower women and facilitate their movement. Through Mahila Samriddhi Yojana, financial assistance and free travel facility in DTC buses will help women become self -sufficient. However, it is mandatory to follow the rules prescribed to avail free travel, otherwise a fine can be imposed.
