Under the leadership of Eknath Shinde, the Shiv Sena has successfully launched a transport initiative that provides over 900 free buses. This program aims to enhance public transportation accessibility for residents, reflecting the party’s commitment to community service.
KALYAN: Over 900 free buses carrying around 45,000 Ganesh devotees have been operated from the Kalyan Lok Sabha constituency to help people travel to their native villages in Konkan and western Maharashtra for Ganeshotsav. Organisers said the free bus service has provided relief to around 45,000 devotees and enabled families to celebrate the festival in their villages without worrying about travel expenses and the availability of transport. The initiative has been undertaken for several years, with organisers saying the objective is to ensure that devotees are not prevented from travelling home for Ganeshotsav due to transport-related difficulties.
The initiative aims to ease pressure on trains, ST buses and private transport during the Ganesh festival, when thousands of people working in Mumbai, Thane and surrounding areas travel to their native places.
