New trend after Shakti: Women attending events asked to take buses

Shakti, a free travel scheme, has set a new trend in North Karnataka region. Hosts of weddings and other family ceremonies are now arranging private vehicles only for male guests. They are directly telling women guests to come by bus. None will take it another way, as they are all aware that Shakti is there to minimise travel expenses hosts and guests. The interesting thing is that most families are encouraging their female members to attend weddings, baby showers, housewarmings, and all other ceremonies since they need not spend any money on travel.
