DRDO-IR developed bio-toilets is the burning example of misuse of bureaucracy in India

Real picture of this bio-toilets adventure, a feedback received by website on 30 may 2017

sir, I saw your articles on Bio-toilets and would like to appreciate for writing against corruptions. The so called DRDO-IR developed bio-toilets is the burning example of misuse of bureaucracy in India.

There is noting like innovation/research in developing this toilet. NO where in the world, such toilets are used in Rail coaches except India.

These are big failure. 95 percent of these toilets are running faulty. It gives extremely bad smell, emanating all the time.

You can ask the feedback from railway Carriage and Wagon department staff, those maintain the toilets. This bio toilets concept is presented as a great innovation, but in fact it is a compete failure.

Bio Toilets are not approved by UIC or any other Railways Standard Organisation or any other Railway.sir, I saw your 15 Aug 2016 article on Bio-toilets and would like to appreciate for writing against corruptions.

here are more complaints of cleaning in bio toilets. Vendors are minting money. Rs1600 cr is the cost of biotoilets project for Railways.apart from this, I can say that these bio-toilets are complete failure. Why Railways, started using Vacuum Toilets, with Bio-Toilets combination, calling it Hybrid, again claiming a great innovation.f vacuum toilets are proven solution, in Aeroplanes, and railways, worldwide,why to incur extra cost of putting bio-toilets in coaches. It certainly needs an extra infrastructure of vacuum system for extracting/pumping out the human waste from toilet tanks in vacuum toilets, at Washing Lines, but the cost of these infra is quite less than the 1600 cr plus operating cost of bio-toilets.
The feedback from concered railways maintenance staff can be taken from Carriage and Wagon department staff in Washing Lines, Dehradun/ New Delhi/Nizammuddin/Anand Vihar and other big maintenance stations
