The Delhi Transport Corporation (DTC) today launched a gender sensitisation programme to ensure that its drivers and conductors behave properly with women passengers.
A protocol, mentioning Do's & Don'ts, to be followed by drivers and conductors of DTC was also released by Ramakant Goswami, Minister of Transport, Delhi Government, who inaugurated the training programme at DTC Training School, Nand Nagri Complex.

"The training will be imparted to all the drivers and conductors of DTC within a period of six months. The training will be a one-day programme devoted to gender sensitisation," said a DTC official.
