Alipurduar railway division: In a bid to provide a comfortable experience and better facilities to women staff, a portion of the existing office of DRM (Divisional Railway Manager) building of Alipurduar railway division has been recently converted into a ladies room. The Alipurduar railway division, which is also known as APDJ division falls under the Northeast Frontier Railway (NFR) zone of Indian Railways. Earlier, the APDJ division did not have a ladies room for its women employees. Therefore, the modern ladies room has been opened with an aim to provide better comfort to women employees.

The fully air-conditioned ladies room has been provided with several modern facilities including modern changing room for women staff, sofa set, television set, air condition among other facilities. Additionally, the room has also been equipped with a new microwave oven set. Interestingly, the inauguration of the newly opened ladies room was done by the division’s oldest lady staff.
