Information on Baby Care Room at KSRTC Bus Stand In Mangalore Needs To Be Given to Lactating Mother

December 3: The ladies’ rest room and child care room at KSRTC bus stand complex, Bejai, was opened two years ago in order to provide a comfortable space for lactating mothers.As the bus stand is crowded most of the times, lactating mothers need a separate place to feed their children.
Most of the mothers, however, are still unaware of the facility of a baby care and ladies’ rest room in bus stands. The signboard on the room, too, is difficult to be traced from a distance. Ladies who use the room have to fend for themselves as there are no supportive staff in the room.
A notice has been posted on the door to the room, stating that the people can use the room by bringing it to the notice of the Traffic Controller or any officer at the bus stand complex, for women’s safety. Users have been asked to maintain cleanliness of the room and also to switch off the lights and fans in the room when they leave. Complaints too could be submitted at the office of the Traffic Controller, the notice has said.
