Free Bus Service Rajouri and Poonch did not reach free bus services for women in Jammu and Kashmir, local students appeal

Rajouri, April 4 (IANS). The government of Jammu and Kashmir has started free bus services for women, giving women the opportunity to travel in government and electric buses without rental. This step is an important initiative for safe and accessible public transport for women. However, women and students of Rajouri and Poonch are deprived of this facility, as this bus service has not yet been available in these districts. Women from Rajouri and Poonch demand from the government that free bus service should also start for women in these areas. The students of the PG College Rajouri also expressed concern about this issue, saying that they need government buses for safe and affordable journey. The students say that the cost of private transport is very high for the students who are especially for the students living in rural areas, and these vehicles are crowded. In addition, the number of government buses is also very low, causing many problems on the trip. The welcome of this decision by the chief minister Omar Abdullah, Bipasha Bhardwaj of government PG College and Bipasha Bhardwaj said we are all happy about his initiative. However, he emphasized that this free bus service has not yet been started in Rajouri and Poonch. He requested the main minister that this service should be started quickly in these districts, so that women can benefit here as well. He also said that by increasing the number of government buses, women could get more facilities in travel. Arju Manhas, a student of the government’s PG College and local resident, also thanked the chief minister and said it is a wonderful initiative for women, but it must be implemented early in Rajouri and Poonch. He said women are experiencing many problems due to the absence of this service. Jamila, a student of Government PG College, also expressed her opinion on the issue. He said this step is very beneficial to women, but that this facility has not reached Rajouri and Poonch. He called on the government to implement this scheme as soon as possible so that women can benefit here as well. -Ians PSM/GKT shares this story tags
