Toilets in local trains soon
The railways plan to introduce toilets and washbasins on local trains soon, railway minister Mamata Banerjee said on Saturday.
Speaking at Howrah, on the occasion of flagging-off of two more Duranto Expresses, she promised a ride to Digha in 2 hours 15 minutes after three months.
