Bengaluru: Women in Karnataka have availed themselves of 227 crore free rides in government non-luxury buses under the "Shakti" guarantee in the last one year, costing the state exchequer Rs 5,526.64 crore, Transport Minister Ramalinga Reddy said on Tuesday. The Congress government, led by Siddaramaiah, launched the "Shakti" scheme one of the five guarantees which the party had promised before the Assembly elections on June 11 last year. These promises are said to have yielded rich electoral dividends to the Congress, helping it dethrone the Basavaraj Bommai-led BJP government. As the government celebrates one year of "Shakti" guarantee implementation, Reddy said in a statement that 226.95 women travelled free of cost in the government buses.

China is reportedly negotiating with Visa, Mastercard and other global card issuers, seeking to reduce the fees they charge local merchants on foreign card transactions. The Payment & Clearing Association of China has proposed that the card issuers reduce their fees from the current range of between 2% and 3% to 1.5%, Bloomberg reported Friday (June 21), citing unnamed sources. Mastercard told Bloomberg that it has received such a proposal and that it is working with payment industry partners to lower costs, according to the report. The association's proposal is part of China's efforts to encourage merchants to accept foreign cards, the report said. Currently, most merchants are reluctant to do so because of the processing fees. Mastercard said in June 2023 that it teamed up with Alipay to offer a new payment option for international visitors to China, allowing them to go cashless while traveling around China's mainland. The Alipay-Mastercard partnership a...
