Supreme Court Petition Seeks Deadlines to Improve Railway Station Amenities
A plea filed in the Supreme Court seeks time-bound directives for improving amenities at railway stations, including hygienic drinking water, functional toilets, proper waste management, emergency medical facilities, and accessibility. The petition requests comprehensive and periodic testing of drinking water sources for contaminants like E. coli, with unsafe sources to be discontinued until rectified. It cites a Comptroller and Auditor General report highlighting hygiene issues and calls for implementation of corrective measures with accountability and deadlines. The case is scheduled for hearing before a bench led by Chief Justice Surya Kant.
