Oct 26, 2016 — The problem raised by this petition on Change.org as well as other persons regarding inadequacy of toilet facilities specially for women is genuine and is well taken care of. The following is submitted regarding the availability of toilet facilities along National Highways;
Ø NHAI is operating about 255 Toll Plazas (BOT/EPC/OMT) where toilet facilities are available at Toll Plazas for use of public/road commuters. However, NHAI has initiated a drive to construct toilets for men and women separately on up and down side of National Highways along with providing dustbins at 100 identified Toll Plazas across the country on pan India basis under Swachh Bharat Abhiyan.
Ø Toilet facilities are available at retail outlets of Petroleum Companies along National Highways which can be used by road users/ travellers while plying on the National Highways.
Ø NHAI has taken initiative with oil Marketing Companies to upgrade the existing toilet facilities at retail outlets to standard designs and to ensure clean, safe and hygienic basic facilities of toilets and drinking water to the road commuters free of cost.
Ø NHAI is planning to develop wayside amenities at every 50 km length of National Highway across the country where the facility of toilets, restaurants, dhabas, fuel stations, sundry shops, haat bazaars etc. shall be available for short stay for the road commuters.
