Two women drivers steer Lucknow's first Metro train
The first Lucknow Metro train, whose trial run was flagged off on Thursday, was driven by two women operators - Pratibha and Prachi. "The Lucknow Metro Rail Corporation is a progressive and coherent organisation which believes in giving opportunities to both boys and girls," LMRC MD Kumar Keshav said. Reportedly, nearly 20% of Metro drivers recruited by LMRC are women.
