From November 1, only CNG, electric, or BS-VI buses can enter Delhi. UPSRTC? They’re getting ahead. And here’s the twist: most of the cost (₹400 cr) is coming from the state; not the corporation. Also approved: a 500-bed hostel for working women in Varanasi, fully funded by the state. Part of a bigger plan; 7 such hostels across UP. Why? To give women safe, affordable, no-profit housing. Smart move, especially as more women enter the workforce. And for students? A new 112-bed women’s hostel at a Banaras college. Higher education access + safety = real policy. This isn’t just about buses or beds. It’s about future-proofing transport, empowering women, and using local industry. UP’s quietly building infrastructure that actually works.
