Following the CAG Report on Drinking Water Quality, whole day review was done by Shri Ashwini Vaishnaw, Hon’ble Railway Minister, CRB & CEO and other senior officials, and immediate corrective measures have been ordered for Safe Drinking Water.
Immediate Actions:
▪️ New "Tank to Tap" Water Filtration System at ∼20,000 locations including water coolers and a comprehensive water filtration and monitoring system will be installed at approximately 20,000 points across the railway network
▪️ Replacement of Water Tanks
▪️ Strict compliance on following:-
- Regular water quality testing at source and outlet points
- Centralized monitoring and accountability
- Scheduled cleaning and maintenance of storage tanks
This is a top priority area and will be monitored directly at the Board level. Progress and water quality reports will be published periodically to ensure transparency.
This action is part of a larger drive to address all CAG observations and improve the overall travel experience.
