Ahead of the International Women's Day on March 8, the Noida Metro Rail Corporation has designated Sector-76 and Pari Chowk metro stations on the Aqua line as 'pink stations'.
Although the official announcement will be made on March 8 by NMRC, the stations have already been painted pink and all the preparations have also been completed.
Both of these metro stations will be commanded by an all-women staff. In addition to this, free sanitary pads will also be available at all the stations on the aqua line for a period of one year, starting March 8.
"These stations are women-friendly. They will have facilities like baby-feeding room, diaper-changing facilities and a changing room," said Ritu Maheshwari, MD of Noida Metro Rail Corporation (NMRC).
The theme for this year's International Women's Day by the United Nations is 'I am Generation Equality: Realizing Women's Rights.
