To provide clean drinking water to the passengers free of cost, ten hybrid water purifiers developed by Bhabha Atomic Research Centre will be installed at CSMT, Sandhurst Road, Dadar and LTT stations, according to the sources. This will be run on a pilot basis. Each unit is efficient at purifying 500 liters of water per hour.
A railway official said BARC will install and commission the water purification units. While, Central Railways Mumbai Division will look after related site development, regular operation and maintenance.
Under its ongoing R&D project, the BARC will install the units but not provide maintenance. All the 10 devices at 4 station
After a joint survey by the Railways and the BARC, installation of 10 devices at 4 stations i.e. one each at CSMT and Sandhurst, four each at Dadar and LTT were proposed.
For now the agreement will remain valid for 24 hours until both the parties decide to extend the validity. Meanwhile, BARC will have the ownership of the purification.
