Bio-toilets in all coaches – Ministry of Railways project

New Delhi: Ministry of Railways is planning to install bio toilets in all coaches.

As part of Swachh India drive, bio toilets are being provided in train coaches. Bio-toilet facility has been installed in Ranchi Rajdhani train as a pilot project. It is very popular among travelers.

Speaking in the Lok Sabha last year, Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnav said, “Around 1,450 coaches of trains operating across the country have been fitted with bio-toilets.”

Last January, Minister Ashwini Vaishnav visited Delhi Railway Station. Then he inspected the bio-toilet facilities in the trains. He strictly directed the authorities to install bio-toilets in all the coaches.

Railway sources said: In the first phase, we are planning to install bio-toilets in all coaches of Rajdhani trains. After this, bio-toilets will be installed in all mail and express trains gradually. We have set a target to install bio-toilets in 6,000 coaches in a year.

The current toilets make the train stink. Installing bio toilets instead puts an end to the odor problem permanently. New types of automatic cleaning devices will also be attached to the bio-toilets. This will fully ensure the health of passengers. Rail travel is parallel to air travel. Railway sources said this.
