An all-woman crew was in charge of the Gol Gumbaz Express which was flagged off from the city station on Monday.
This was part of the International Women’s Day celebrations by the South Western Railways which also formed a women power chain to mark the occasion.
The loco pilot and the assistant loco pilot, guard, ticket checking staff and security personnel on duty on the Mysuru-Bengaluru stretch of the journey were women and this was to underscore the commitment of the railways to create a gender equal workforce to achieve all round development of the organisation.
Closure of lease period : TAPCMS locks its lorry stand area to take up developmental works
Mysore/Mysuru: Following the 15-year lease period of the lorry stand at
Taluk Agricultural Produce Co-operative Marketing Society (TAPCMS) Limited taken by Railway Goods Shed Lorry Owners Association coming to an end yesterday, the TAPCMS authorities have locked the gate of the lorry stand on Jodi Thenginamara Road in Bannimantap, which has forced the truck owners to park their vehicles on either side of the road causing disruption in smooth movement of vehicles since last evening.
Also, about 100 trucks are stuck inside the lorry stand and unable to come out as the gate is locked besides causing problems to transport essential commodities which have arrived in goods trains.
