Ladies coaches to be shifted to middle of trains

Kochi: The Thiruvananthapuram railway division on Thursday directed all railway stations under it to shift the ladies coaches in all passenger trains operating from the stations to the middle of the trains. 
The division has asked the stations to shift the coaches with immediate effect to strengthen the security of women passengers. 
On the occasion of the International Women’s Day, two new ‘ladies only’ coaches will be provided in the Thiruvananthapuram-Shoranur Venad Express from Friday. Luggage-cum-brake van coach of the train will not be earmarked for ladies any more.
