MATUNGA RAILWAY STATION
I am extremely happy to inform that six months after the CR appointed on all women staff at MATUNGA IN MUMBAI, this station has figured in the LIMCA BOOKS OF RECORDS 2018. The credit for this goes to CR GENERAL MANAGER DK SHARMA who started this for empowering women.
The station is being manned exclusively by women staffers in JULY 2017.

These staffers work under the supervision of station manager of MUMTA KULKARNI.
