Gangtok: President Droupadi Murmu officially launched a new public transport initiative in Sikkim designed specifically for female commuters. Known as the Pink City Runner, or the Aama Didi Bahini Bus Sewa, the service aims to provide a safe and affordable travel option across the region.
The inauguration ceremony featured the presence of Governor Om Prakash Mathur and Chief Minister Prem Singh Tamang. These buses are reserved exclusively for women and feature a staff comprised entirely of female drivers and employees.
