The Kejriwal government has launched a revolutionary scheme for women called the “Saheli Pink Card,” which will replace the old pink slip for free travel on DTC and cluster buses. This pink card will serve as a permanent travel pass for female passengers, eliminating the hassle of repeatedly purchasing tickets.

Let’s find out who is eligible for the Saheli Pink Card and the complete process for obtaining it.
