Delhi High Court Directs DMRC to Install Sanitary Pad Vending Machines in Metro Toilets

The Delhi High Court has ordered the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) to install sanitary pad vending machines in women's toilets across all metro stations.

The directive came while hearing a plea highlighting the lack of accessible menstrual hygiene products in public spaces. The court emphasized the importance of addressing women's health needs and asked DMRC to submit a compliance report.

The petitioner argued that such facilities are essential for gender equality and public health. DMRC must now implement the order, ensuring better hygiene access for female commuters.
