Thiruvananthapuram: The Congress-led UDF government in Kerala on Monday launched the 'Priyadarshini' scheme, offering free travel for women and transgender persons in ordinary KSRTC buses across the state, fulfilling a key election promise.
Many poor women who commute daily for work, including those employed as housemaids, will benefit from this initiative, Chief Minister V D Satheesan said after inaugurating the landmark programme by lighting a traditional lamp at a function held in Thampanoor KSRTC bus terminal here.
