Pratima Mondal raised under Rule 377 the issue of constructing a public toilet and water facilities at Canning railway station

Canning railway station is a suburban station which experiences heavy footfall daily. Not only does it serve the people of the rural area who travel to and fro to the city but also tourists. Since it is the gateway to Sundarbans, it holds a special importance as a mode of connectivity. The problem that I would like to put forth is related to basic human necessity. Canning railway station is in dire need of a public toilet. In the absence of a proper toilet, men are seen urinating in the surrounding areas and women have to suffer. People have to wait long hours just to use a restroom. This should not be happening. Thus, I request the hon. Minister to look into the matter and make provision for constructing a public toilet at Canning railway station.
