To provide free travel facilities to all the women of Delhi, the state government launched the new Pink Saheli Smart Digital card. Before this digital card, women used the pink paper tickets to travel all across the state of Delhi.
These new changes can be made under the supervision of the Prime Minister of India, Mr. Narender Modi. By providing these smart cards to the women government wants to provide a safe and secure environment to the women. With the help of these cards, all the beneficiaries can travel in all the DTC and Cluster buses.
The benefits of the Pink Saheli Smart Card can be given to all the permanent citizens of women and transgender women who having the age above 12 years old. The card will be distributed by the DTC with the help of the Bank after completing the eKYC process. Now, in this article, I am going to cover every important fact of the new scheme.
