    The DTC has decided to provide free rides to women in buses on Raksha Bandhan.

    The free travel facility will be available for lady passengers in normal and air-conditioned buses, from 8 am to 10 pm on August 26, Delhi Transport Corporation said.

    Sufficient traffic supervisory staff will be deputed on heavy loading points for the convenience of commuters, it said.

    However, an organization, Karmchari Ekta Manch, of contractual employees asked all contract-based drivers and conductors to go on leave en masse on Raksha Bandhan.

    The move has come in protest against the reduction in wages, said the Manch leaders.

    The Depot Managers have issued notices to the staff asking them not to avail leave from August 23 to August 31.
