The Rotary Club of Kolkata, in partnership with the Metropolitan Magistrate Court (MMC), handed over five pink auto‑rickshaws to women beneficiaries during a ceremony held at a local community hall. The event was attended by officials from both organisations and representatives of the neighbourhood.
The vehicles, each painted in a vibrant pink hue, are intended to provide safe and reliable transportation for the recipients, many of whom rely on public transport for daily activities. The donation is part of a broader initiative to improve mobility options for women in the city.
Such gestures by civic bodies underscore the importance of addressing gender‑specific transportation challenges in Kolkata. The initiative is expected to encourage more women to commute confidently across the city.
