After officials found that contractors managing the toilets at rail stations on the Central Railway were switching off fans at the lavatories to save power thus leaving the loos stinking, the authorities have decided to foot the electricity bills.
The CR has sent a proposal to the higher-ups for approval. The Railways has given contracts for pay-and-use toilets for better management.
During a recent surprise check, senior CR officials were shocked to find that the contractors had been turning off electricity supply to save money.
On the CR, there are 117 toilet blocks of which 37 of them have been given on contract basis where the pay-and-use system is in place. Here one has to pay Re 1 to use the urinals. There have been complaints that gullible users are at times made to pay much more to use the facilities.
The Western Railway, on the other hand, has 34 free urinals and 23 blocks where users are charged. WR officials say they use good quality disinfectants to keep the toilets clean and stink-free.
