Indian Railways — Rs. 10 Charged for using Toilet on Surat Platform

Address:

Surat, Gujarat

Hi, On january 1, 2015 morning, when i visited surat station to start my journey towards mumbai. I wanted to relieve mysel[censored]sing Platform Toilet for Laterine. When i gone to Platform Toilet, 1 person was seating there outside, demanded Rs.10 for using Laterine. I had no option but to give it to him as i was having urgency to relieve myself & my train was almost going to arrive in next 10-15 minutes. I am raising this complaints to just highlight the misuse of the passengers by taking more than extra money even for using Indian railways Toilets. In the Era where everybody is talking about Cleanliness, if such high money are taken from people for using Toilets, then poor people will have no option but to relieve themselves in the open rather than giving money & using the toilets. Which will in turn make the open places dirty & smelly. Kindly asking the Railway Authorities to look into the issue & take action against person taking advantage of passengers emergency situation. Thanks, Abdul
