Maligaon, December 4 (MExN): In a bid to further improve the working conditions of loco pilots, NF Railway has installed innovative waterless urinals in six WAG-9HC class locomotives. This initiative will facilitate improved working condition for the loco pilots.
Initially, Electric Loco Shed of Malda Town (MLDT) has fitted waterless urinals to enhance resource conservation, convenience, and safety during train operations. Previously, loco pilots of goods trains, who often worked continuously for 7-8 hours, had no provision for toilet facilities within the locomotives. This forced them to rely on unscheduled stops, which could potentially affect the safe operation and punctuality of trains, Kapinjal Kishore Sharma, Chief Public Relations Officer, NFR stated in a press release.
NFR’s Loco Shed at Malda Town is planning to install these facilities on 50 more locomotives over the zone in the coming monthsin a phased manner.
