In a major push for women’s empowerment and social inclusion, the Kerala government has announced that women and transgender individuals can travel free of cost on state-run buses starting June 15, 2026. Named the ‘Priyadarshini’ scheme, the initiative fulfills a key election promise made under the ruling United Democratic Front (UDF) government’s ‘Indira Guarantee’ welfare programme.

Kolkata’s dry streak is officially over. Early Tuesday morning, the city saw its first significant rainfall in weeks, triggered by a surge of moisture from the Bay of Bengal. While the 5.9mm of rain brought relief, the IMD has issued a ‘yellow watch’ warning, advising residents to brace for more thunderstorms, lightning, and gusty winds throughout the day.
