On the occasion of Raksha Bandhan, the state government has been providing a free travel facility for women on roadways buses for approximately 64 hours. As soon as this facility came into effect, there was a sudden and significant increase in the number of passengers at the bus stand. According to the report, the crowd became four times larger compared to normal days, making the situation at the bus stand extremely busy. To manage the swelling crowd and maintain order, police teams had to be deployed at the location. However, the source does not specify which state implemented this free travel scheme, nor does it clarify the basis on which the crowd was determined to have quadrupled.
