MUMBAI:

The survey, which commenced earlier this week, will gauge the cleanliness and operational efficiency of toilet blocks, and contractors concerned will be penalized in case of deficiencies, said railway officials.

"Our teams will visit all toilet blocks on rail premises and document the smallest of details—such as broken tiles and pots, missing taps, leaky faucets and pipes and stained washbasins," Pankaj Singh, divisional railway manager (Mumbai), WR, told Hindustan Times.

"In case of pay-and-use toilets, contractors operating them will be held responsible if the premises are found unclean," Singh added.
