The Mumbai Metro on Friday evening announced that two stations—Akurli on Yellow Line 2A and Eksar on Red Line 7, will now be looked after by an all-women staff.

Operations at Akurli and Eksar stations will be managed by a team of 76 women employees, and everyone, right from the station manager to the security staff will be women. “This initiative aims to recognise and celebrate the contributions of women in the transportation industry and promote gender diversity and inclusivity in the workplace and the transportation sector,” an official said.
