Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu has announced a major welfare initiative for women, where he announced that the government will soon roll out free bus travel for women across the state. The scheme is scheduled to be launched on August 15 (Independence Day) this year.

The announcement came during Chandrababu Naidu’s visit to Kurnool on May 17, where he was participating in the Swarna Andhra – Swachcha Andhra programme. Addressing a public gathering, he said, “We will implement the free bus travel to women scheme soon. We are thinking of launching it on Independence Day.”
