Petitioning: Maintenance of Toilets clean- south central Railway (Kacheguda-Banglore ciy Exp)

Petitioner: Guntu started on September 16, 2013

Am a frequent traveler by Kacheguda-Banglore city express in different classes. Though the toilets are cleaned neatly in (Both the directions) inUpper class ie. A.C 2 tier and A.C 3 tier, the cleanliness in Sleeper class is lacking in the train starting from Kacheguda Railway station. In the train starting from Bangalore to Kacheguda it is O.Kay.

The toilets in the train originating from Kacheguda station, particularly sleeper class, many a time it is emanating foul strong Urinary smell, not only while the train is on run but also before departure ie. while the train is placed on the platform. It clearly indicates that the compartments are not cleaned upto the mark, which is resulting in foul smell.

There was a sms number for complaints made available some time by south central Railway. One day 40 mts before the departure of the train I gave sms to the given number, hoping that it will be attended and cleaned immediately. Strangely after a week days or so it was disposed of stating that the passengers who used toilet did not flush the toilet. When I boarded the compartment there were only 5 or 6 passengers and they were engaged in chat with people who came to see off. None used the toilets. Kindly arrange for cleanliness regularly and save the passengers from health hazards.
