All-women team to take over operations of iron mine in Jharkhand's Noamundi from January

An all-women team will take over operations at the Noamundi iron mine in Jharkhand from January 2022.

Tata Steel’s Noamundi Iron Mine in Jharkhand is set to witness an all-women team taking up drilling, dumper, and shovel operations in all shifts from early next year, a senior official said on Saturday.

Women officers and operators have already been inducted in the Noamundi Iron Mine and it will be the first time in the country that a 30-member team, exclusively comprising women from the rank of officers to operators, will be engaged independently in all the shifts, the official said.
