Private Bus Operator Challenges Tamil Nadu's Vettri Payanam Scheme in Madras HC
A private bus operator from Erode district has filed a writ petition in the Madras High Court challenging the constitutional validity of Tamil Nadu's Vettri Payanam scheme. The scheme offers free travel for women and transwomen on 12,695 government buses. The petitioner argues it will cause heavy losses to private transporters as families may prefer free government buses, affecting their business viability. The case is scheduled before the first Division Bench of Chief Justice Sushrut Arvind Dharmadhikari and Justice G. Arul Murugan.
