The Indian Railways is planning to install water closets in locos after it was recommended by more than 10,000 loco pilots in an internal survey conducted last month, official privy to developments said.
The loco pilots unanimously recommended that the national transporter should construct water closets in the engines as these loco pilots, in an emergency, are forced to leave the loco. The survey was done after female pilots raised objections to their difficulties in performing their duty in the absence of a water closet inside the loco.
“A survey was conducted of all zonal railways last month, in which 10,191 loco pilots participated.
