98. GREEN TOILETS

♤ All trains maintained by the Delhi Division will have green toilets.

♤ Open discharge toilets on trains have been under constant criticism because of creating the problem of manual scavenging which led to a series of trials with green toilets on train.

♤ The new toilets will have a collection tank fitted with anaerobic bacteria to decompose faecal matter completely and only a colourless, odourless benign liquid that does not pollute the environment will be released.
