All women crew operate passenger train in Jharkhand

An all-women crew on Friday operated the Ranchi-Tori passenger train to mark International Women’s Day, which was celebrated worldwide on Wednesday, an official said.

Since Women’s Day fell on the occasion of Holi festival, the running of the train by all women crew was decided for Friday, the railway official said.

Chief Public Relations Officer (CPRO) of Ranchi railway division Nishant Kumar told PTI, “The occasion was dedicated to women. A woman officer flagged off the train and it is being manned by an all women crew.”
