In what is possibly a world's first, India's national carrier Air India will **w be reserving seats for women.*
Six seats in the front rows of domestic flights will be blocked without any additional cost, The Hindu reported (http://www.thehindu.com/business/Industry/Air-India-to-reserve-six-front-seats-for-women/article17023907.ece).

For a while **w, buses, trains and even auto-rickshaws in India have had special seats for women, but this is the first time that an airline is implementing it.*
An Air India official has reportedly said, "We feel, as national carriers, it is our responsibility to enhance comfort level to female passengers."*
The policy will take effect on Jan. 18. Read more... (http://mashable.com/2017/01/12/air-india-to-reserve-seats-for-women-citizens-angry/?utm_campaign=Mash-Prod-RSS-Feedburner-All-Partial&utm_cid=Mash-Prod-RSS-Feedburner-All-Partial)
