Break Through

Women taxi drivers? Yes, that’s what you’ll see on your next visit to Delhi. Thanks to Project Priyadarshini launched by India Tourism Corporation, the first batch of nine women has been recruited as tourist taxi drivers by Ashok Travel and Tours. They are being trained

in driving and auto maintenance as well as grooming, language and self-protection skills as they chauffeur tourists around. Let’s hope they bring some order, style and decorum to the capital’s chaotic streets where nonstop honking rules the drive. Or maybe it might add to the honks.
