She further stated that to create a conducive work environment, they are providing facilities such as sanitary napkin dispensers et al. The male staff of this post office have been transferred to other branches. As the Mahim Bazar branch had the least number of employees as compared to other branches, it was easier to transfer the male staff.
With an aim to induct more women employees, India Post will be opening up five more all-women post office in Mumbai. These post offices will be located in Andheri, Borivali and Wadala.
