Viral Videos Raise Questions Over UP Free Bus Travel Scheme for Women
Lucknow: Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath’s free bus travel initiative for women during Raksha Bandhan has triggered a debate on social media.
The state government announced free travel for women on UPSRTC buses during the festival period. One companion travelling with a woman is also eligible for the benefit.
However, several videos circulating on social media claim that some women were allegedly denied the promised free travel facility.
The videos have sparked questions about the implementation of the government’s order. Some users are asking whether the scheme is reaching passengers uniformly across Uttar Pradesh.
One criticism gaining attention asks whether the Chief Minister’s instructions are being properly followed on the ground.
“Has CM Yogi Adityanath become so weak that even a bus driver is not following his orders?” the criticism says.
The claim, however, needs to be verified on a case-by-case basis. A viral video alone does not establish that the same situation is occurring across the state.
The government’s announcement covers women travelling on UPSRTC buses during the specified Raksha Bandhan period.
Meanwhile, UPSRTC has increased bus operations to manage the expected festive rush. Additional buses and staff have been deployed on busy routes.
Officials have also ordered route checks and supervision at major bus stations.
Reports from Lucknow indicate that women have already started using the free travel facility. Heavy passenger movement has also been reported at several bus stations.
The controversy now centres on enforcement rather than the announcement itself.
If passengers are being denied the benefit despite meeting the scheme’s conditions, officials may need to examine such complaints and take appropriate action.
For now, the widely shared videos should be viewed with caution until the locations, dates and circumstances are independently established.
