Declare ‘Vettri Payanam’ scheme unconstitutional, urges private bus operator before Madras High Court
An Erode-based private bus operator has petitioned the Madras High Court to declare the ‘Vettri Payanam’ scheme unconstitutional. The programme offers fare‑free travel for women on state‑run buses. The operator argues that the policy will cause a substantial loss of revenue for private carriers, potentially forcing them to cease operations. The court will consider the challenge.
