Smartphone retailers in Rajasthan are protesting against the state government's plan to distribute free phones to women, claiming that it will eat into their potential market and result in significant losses for them. The government aims to distribute 4 million smartphones by October through state-authorised distributors, bypassing the existing retail network. Retailers have suggested an alternative of using over 10,000 retailers to strengthen distribution or providing direct cash transfers to eligible constituents.
