No toilet facility in Ambala-Nangal Dam train
Ambala, August 14 The train starts from Ambala at 7.35 am and reaches Chararu Takrala at 11.40 am near Nangal. It halts briefly at Chandigarh, Mohali, Kharar, Morinda, Kurali, Ropar, Ghanauli, Bharatgarh, Kiratpur Sahib, Anandpur Sahib, Nangal and Chararu Takrala. During these brief halts no passenger can use toilet facilities at any of these railway stations as the halt is too brief. It is only at Chandigarh that the passengers can use toilet where the train has a stop of 40 minutes, sources said. Hundreds of passengers travelling by this train have to face great hardship in absence of toilet facility. Particularly put to inconvenience are women, the aged and children. The train has been plying on this route for many years and the matter of provision of toilets in the train has been pending with the railways for over five years. The train has eight bogies and there is space earmarked for toilets in each bogey, but this space has not been utilised. Station Superintendent admitted that the train had no toilet facility. He said the matter had been taken up with the senior railway authorities and a final decision in this matter had still not been taken. Some of the passengers contacted by The Tribune at Ambala Cantt railway station today pointed out that they faced great difficulty as the aged and children needed to use toilets more frequently. However, they said they still preferred to use the train as it was economical as compared to bus travel. Manoj Kumar, a spokesman at DRM office Ambala Cantt, said the railways’ greatest concern was to provide homely comforts to passengers on trains. The railways would gradually introduce a project for installing/replacing toilets in all trains.
