The Bilaspur Division of Indian Railways has assigned all ticket checking and onboard monitoring duties on the Bilaspur-Nagpur Vande Bharat Express to female staff since January 1. This initiative aims to enhance passenger comfort, safety, and service quality, particularly for women travelers. Officials believe the move fosters a more secure, approachable, and humane travel environment, with passengers reporting feeling more at ease and secure due to the presence of female ticket checkers.
