All-Women Crew Pilots Goods Train In Western Railway For 1st Time

What could be called as inspiring, an all-women crew of Western Railway on January 5 successfully piloted a goods train from Maharashtra to Gujarat. For this, Union Railway Minister Piyush Goyal tweeted, "Our women employees have set a wonderful example of empowerment." A senior official from Western Railway, Sumit Thakur, said this would inspire other women to take jobs of guards and loco pilots. The 3-member crew included Kumkum Dongre, Udita Verma, and Akansha Rai.
