Indian Railways need to adopt the same type of toilets that is used on aircrat, so that the refuse does not drop onto the tracks below. The shocking facct is that the railways employ people, whose job it is to clean the portion of the railway-tracks that lies within the railway-station of of such droppings. Of what use is building high-tech software, hardware, cars, buildings, outsourcing, BPOs, etc, if we cannot liberate our own people from such slavery ? The railways should immediately implement aircraft-type of toilets on all its trains. Indian railways must be the only railways in the world, wherein the droppings from the toilets acctually drop onto the tracks.

Yes, I totally agree Its time that this is brought to the notice of our Railway Minister. He can impose a surcharge in the coming budget to muster money for the act.
