Banerjee flags off ladies special train in West Bengal Kolkata:
Railway Minister Mamata Banerjee kept up her promise of a 'ladies special' for
harried commuters in Kolkata on Sunday. Banerjee flagged off the ladies special
EMU, which will run between Howrah and Bandel stations in Kolkata. Banerjee had
made the announced in her railway budget speech for this fiscal year. "What I
had promised in the railway budget, we will implement those projects properly
every where. People think the declarations in the budget are not implemented properly
which is our duty to implement," Banerjee said. Women commuters welcome the introduction
of the new train. "I find it's a very big boon for us because traveling very long
distances and coming to work makes it quiet difficult when we are traveling all
together when the trains are packed, if there is a train for women then we can
relax and travel over long distances," said Laxmi Biswas, a daily commuter. The
Western Railway first introduced Ladies' Special train in Mumbai in 1992. -July
