This facility has been created to ensure a gender-friendly environment in the city and a comfortable space for women, reports The Telegraph.
GMC commissioner Monalisa Goswami said that the Panbazar bus shelter is the only one to have a baby feeding facility at present and they are planning to create more such facilities in different parts of the city.
The facility will mostly be beneficial for mothers with babies as they find it quite difficult to feed their babies while travelling.
