KTC announced the induction of women traffic controllers for the first time in its latest recruitment drive.
Karnataka Transport Corporation (KTC) has officially inducted a group of women as traffic controllers, marking the first time women have been appointed to this role in the corporation's recruitment history.
The decision comes as part of KTC's broader initiative to enhance gender diversity within its operational workforce and to encourage more women to pursue careers in traffic management.
The newly recruited women will undergo a structured training program before being posted to various traffic control points across the state, where they will be responsible for monitoring and managing vehicular flow.
KTC officials said the move reflects the corporation's commitment to equal opportunity and aims to set a precedent for other transport agencies.
Industry observers expect that this milestone will inspire further participation of women in traditionally male‑dominated transport sectors.
