Indian Railways Looks To Upgrade Toilets With Modular Fittings, But This Age-Old Feature Will Remain financialexpress.com

Even as Indian Railways looks to upgrade toilets on trains, one feature that will continue to be seen is chain-secured mugs! Indian Railways is installing several modular fittings in train toilets – from touchless taps to odour-control systems and high-quality soap dispensers. But, along with the new ‘health faucets’ that are being put in toilets, the age-old metal mug secured with a chain will continue to be there, states an HT report. As per the official data, toilet mugs are among the items which are frequently stolen from trains. The mugs were among the Rs 2.97 crore worth property, that the Railway Protection Force recovered in 2017-18 with other items including blankets, bed linen, ceiling fans, shower heads and iron grilles.
