Summary
E. coli bacteria was detected in drinking water at several railway stations. Unhygienic conditions were also reported in railway washrooms by the auditor. Many stations lacked essential amenities, including drinking water taps and latrines. Even top-tier stations showed deficiencies in basic passenger facilities. The audit covered a five-year period ending in 2024.
