If sources are to be believed, the posters of incumbent Chief Minister Charanjit Singh Channi will now be pasted on buses, which is usually the practice of any government to highlight its schemes and achievements.
In a letter issued to the Punjab Roadways, the Director, Public Relations, has ordered that with the replacement of the Chief Minister in Punjab, all general managers are ordered to remove the pictures of Captain Amarinder Singh pasted on all buses.
The letter was reportedly sent to the department two days ago. Notably, the posters were pasted on government-owned public transport buses two years ago.

Last year, Captain Amarinder Singh had announced a 50 per cent concession in fare for women passengers in government-owned public transport buses. The decision came close on the heels of the Arvind Kejriwal-led government in Delhi starting free bus rides for women. Now, it is to be seen if the government would continue with this scheme or scrap it too.
