The gesture is to mark International Women's Day
An all-woman staff will manage the Netaji Bhavan station of the Metro Railway from Thursday to mark the International Women's Day, a Metro spokesperson said.
From the booking counter staff, station masters, RPF personnel, cleaning staff and technical persons will all be women, Metro spokesperson Indrani Banerjee said.
"We chose Netaji Bhavan (erstwhile Bhawanipur station) as the country's first underground Metro service commenced from this station," she said.
The Metro service started in the stretch of Bhawanipur station to Esplanade on October 24, 1984.
