The Congress-led Telangana government introduces the 'Maha Lakshmi' scheme, fulfilling a manifesto promise. Effective from December 9, 2023, the initiative provides free bus travel for girls, women, and transgender individuals within the state's borders using Palle Velugu and Express buses. The scheme aims to empower and benefit residents of Telangana, with plans for a smart card system underway. The government will reimburse the Telangana State Road Transport Corporation for chargeable fares, ensuring accessible transportation for the specified groups. The move aligns with the broader goal of enhancing inclusivity and women's welfare.
