The Matunga suburban station on the Central Railway (CR) has found its way into the Limca Book of Records for having an all-woman staff, an official said today. The achievement comes six months after Matunga became the first railway station in the country to be run by an all- woman staff.
“We are happy to inform that six months after the CR appointed an all-woman staff at Matunga, this station has figured in the Limca Book of Records 2018,” said the Railway official. “The credit for this goes to CR General Manager D K Sharma, who started this initiative of empowering women,” he said.
The station is being manned exclusively by women staffers since July 2017, a first on the Indian Railways, he said. A team of 41 women staffers at the station includes personnel from the RPF, commercial and operating departments.These staffers work under the supervision of station manager Mamta Kulkarni
