What are Bio-Toilets & Why are they needed?
Choked Station drains:
In the then prevalent system in
trains, on IR, the excreta was
dropped on tracks through a hole
(Toilet Chute).
Stained tracks needed to be
manually cleaned at the station
and excreta discharged into
drains, choked the drains.
The 2006 Comptroller and Auditor General of
India (CAG) report detailed that of the 358
stations it reviewed, drainage systems in 101
stations were clogged.
