Nearly six months after Central Railway's Matunga station became the first in the country to be run by an all-women staff, it has entered the Limca Book of Records 2018 for the rare feat. CR had, in July 2017, appointed 34 women at the station. The team includes a station manager, pointsperson, booking staff, ticket checkers, RPF cops and sweeper, among others. "We have a unique comfort zone," Mamta V Kulkarni, the team leader and station manager, who was also CR's first women stationmaster in the Mumbai division, back in 1992, said.
