CRMS Demands Toilets for Railway Staff After Panvel Incident

CRMS Demands Toilets for Railway Staff After Panvel Incident
Panvel Motorman Incident: CRMS Seeks Toilets, Rest Rooms For Railway Staff At 8 Crew Locations · freepressjournal.in

A motorman in Panvel was recently detained for urinating in public, which showed that there are not enough toilets for train workers.

A union called CRMS wrote a letter to the railway manager asking for toilets and rest rooms at 8 important places where train workers change shifts.

They said this is a serious problem because workers often have to use public toilets or go far to find a restroom.

Sometimes, they have to go in public, which causes problems with the public and damages the railway's image.

The union has asked for this many times before, but nothing has changed.

They want the railway to fix this quickly to help the workers and prevent more problems.
