SCR puts in place 468 drinking water coolers in 170 stations

South Central Railway (SCR) has intensified efforts to ensure the availability of drinking water at railway stations by providing 468 water coolers across 170 stations, with continuous monitoring of adequate water availability and coordinating with local authorities to supplement in case of any emergency.

In anticipation of the upcoming summer season and potential heat waves, the availability of drinking water at stations is being constantly checked in accordance with established norms, said an official release on Saturday.

A series of steps like joint meetings with supervisors of engineering and electrical departments to review the demand and supply capacities at all stations are being taken.
