Congress Leader Urges Toilets on Kolkata-Lalgola Trains
Imagine you're on a long train ride, but there's no bathroom!
That's the problem on some trains in Kolkata, India.
A former politician wrote a letter to the Railway Minister, the person in charge of trains, asking for toilets to be added to the trains.
These trains travel between Sealdah and Lalgola, a long distance.
The politician pointed out that it's not fair to the passengers, especially those from Murshidabad, a district considered less developed.
He said it's like the trains are forgetting about the passengers' basic needs.
He hopes the minister will understand and fix the problem, so everyone can have a more comfortable journey.
Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury, a former MP, wrote to the Railway Minister.
The letter requested toilet facilities on EMU-MEMU trains.
The trains operate on the Sealdah-Lalgola route.
Chowdhury highlighted the inconvenience to passengers.
He mentioned the specific impact on passengers from Murshidabad district.
