As the Shakti scheme is nearing to complete one month of its launch, the Karnataka government has noted the difficulties and losses in business faced by the autorickshaw drivers and private bus operators in the State and will soon bring out a report on the pros and cons of the scheme.
On June 11, the newly-elected Congress government in Karnataka launched the first among five poll guarantees — the Shakti scheme. In this scheme, women can travel for free in non-premium services of State-run buses across Karnataka.
