Explanation: In a first, Jaipur’s Gandhinagar railway station has become the country’s only non-suburban railway station and overall second to be entirely run by women. Though it had been under process for quite some time, a ceremony associated with this distinction was held on 19 February 2018. Situated along the important Jaipur-Delhi rail route, about 50 trains pass through Gandhinagar (Jaipur) station daily, out of which about 25 halt at the station. Neelam Jatav, along with Geeta Devi, Saroj Kumari Dhakad and Angel Stella, have been posted as Assistant Station Masters. The Railway Protection Force (RPF) personnel posted at the station too are all women. RPF in-charge Kavita now leads a team of seven women constables. Overall, this is India’s second railway station with an all-women crew, with the first being Matunga Railway station in Mumbai’s suburban rail network.
