Delhi's public transporter gets its first woman driver
New Delhi, April 18 (ANI): National capital's Delhi Transport Corporation (DTC) has appointed V Saritha as its first woman bus driver. Delhi Transport Minister, Gopal Rai, congratulated Saritha and encouraged more women drivers to take up the job. He said that Saritha's induction into DTC will lessen the gap of gender inequality. DTC, the public transporter, has 243 female conductors but no woman driver. Saritha, who hails from Telangana, said she worked as a chauffeur in south Delhi prior to her stint with DTC. DTC's first woman driver drove auto-rickshaw and a mini bus for college in her home state.
