President of India Droupadi Murmu on Tuesday officially flagged off Sikkim’s first-ever “Pink City Runner – Mother Sister Service”, a special transport initiative launched to ensure safe, comfortable, and reliable public transportation for women.
The women-driven vehicle service will operate from Ranipul to the Secretariat in Gangtok, covering a distance of around 12 kilometers. The fare for the service has been fixed at ₹25.
The initiative is being regarded as a significant step towards women empowerment, self-reliance, and safer public transportation in Sikkim.
