Recently, we stumbled over progressive news about The Kempegowda International Airport in Bengaluru.
Talking about the progressive changes in the airport, the passenger from the Maldives, Ali Samhaan, shared a picture of a diaper-changing station in the men’s toilet. Here’s the tweet:

This progressive update surprised many netizens. Many were happy that this kind of provision was no longer just confined to the woman’s washroom. In today’s era, when both men and women are expected to share the household and parenting responsibilities equally, this step is in the right direction.
For all the right reasons, the tweet got a whole lot of appreciation and love from the netizens.
Yes. Very good gesture by Bangalore. Taking care of baby is nowadays responsibility of both parents

Parenting is a joint responsibility & there can be no separation of duties here. Congrats to #BIAL for this progressive & inclusive approach.

In the changing times, our progressive men neither shy away from changing diapers nor from doing house chores. We are so happy that we finally witnessing times when parenting and household chores are not just women’s jobs; rather they are shared responsibilities.
We are so happy to see this kind of change in our airports. What do you think? Tell us in the comments below.
