Indian Railways' New Flush: 1.5 Liters for Clean Toilets

• Indian Railways introduces a new Electro pneumatic pressure flush system in some trains, particularly LHB coaches.
• The new system uses pressurized water, consuming only 1.5 liters per flush, down from 2.5 liters, to save water.
• A green button indicates flush availability; if not lit, water is unavailable.
• Flushed waste is directed to retention tanks or bio-digesters, preventing discharge onto tracks.
• This modern system aims to conserve water and maintain cleaner train toilets.
