Lucknow, Aug. 27 -- Chief minister Yogi Adityanath on Wednesday warned those who compromise the safety of women and girls that they would have only "jail or jahannum (hell)" as their destination, as he launched a scheme - 'Lokmata Ahilyabai Matrushakti Yatra' - offering lifelong free travel on state-run buses to women aged 60 years and above. The move fulfils the commitment made in the BJP's Lok Kalyan Sankalp Patra-2022 under the 'Sashakt Nari' initiative to provide free public transport facilities to women above 60. "The initiative is aimed at giving elderly women greater mobility, dignity and independence rather than merely providing free transport," he said at Indira Gandhi Pratishthan here. The government estimates that around 88,438 women will benefit from the scheme every day. He also announced that his government would distribute free scooters to meritorious female students, paving the way for fulfilment of one more 2022 poll promise made to women by the BJP. He said, "50,000 female undergraduate students will receive scooters in October-November." He said women should not have to depend on family members to travel for medical treatment, meet relatives, visit religious places, or attend to essential work. Eligible women will be provided special smart cards to facilitate identification and hassle-free travel. The chief minister flagged off special buses, and distributed smart travel cards and gifts to some elderly beneficiaries. He later stepped into one of the buses, interacted with women passengers and took selfies with them before getting off amid greetings. As a special Raksha Bandhan measure, all women regardless of age will be allowed free travel with one companion on UPSRTC and city buses from August 27 to 29. P3...
