Shakti Scheme Boosts Devotee Numbers in Chamarajanagar District

The Shakti scheme, which gives women free bus rides, has caused more people to visit religious places in Chamarajanagar.

Places like MM Hills and Chikkallur saw a big increase in visitors, with double the number of devotees using buses.

During big festivals, even more people came.

The local bus service is asking for more buses to handle the crowds.

This increase in visitors is also helping local businesses like hotels and shops, and the government is being asked to provide even more buses to accommodate the increased demand.
