Southern Railway: In a landmark move aimed at empowering women and nurturing sporting talent, Southern Railway (SR), on Saturday, announced the formation of its first-ever women's teams in boxing, weightlifting, and table tennis.

The initiative is being hailed as a progressive step towards creating long-overdue opportunities for women athletes in the region, who have often struggled to find secure jobs and institutional backing despite their talent.

For decades, Southern Railway has nurtured a strong sporting ecosystem, particularly for men, but women athletes were left without a structured pathway.
