NHAI extends citizen reporting of unclean toilets (FASTag recharge reward) until 30 June 2027
- NHAI extended the citizen reporting initiative for unclean toilets along National Highways to 30 June 2027 and stated that it will continue to process eligible claims in a time-bound manner.
- The scheme accepts geo-tagged and time-stamped photos of unclean toilets submitted by National Highway users through the Rajmargyatra Mobile App.
- NHAI stated that rewards are non-transferable FASTag recharges credited to the linked Vehicle Registration Number (VRN), with one reward per VRN and first-valid-submission rules for same-day duplicate reports.
- NHAI stated that the scheme covers only toilet facilities constructed, operated, or maintained under NHAI jurisdiction and excludes toilets at retail fuel stations, dhabas, and other facilities not under NHAI control.
What happened
NHAI extended the “Clean Toilet Picture Challenge” until 30 June 2027 to further enhance cleanliness and user experience at toilet facilities along National Highways. NHAI also stated that the extension supports continued public participation, time-bound processing of eligible claims, and timely FASTag recharge credit linked to the scheme.
How the challenge works
NHAI’s “Clean Toilet Picture Challenge” uses AI-assisted screening plus manual validation to process citizen reports on unclean toilets and credit FASTag recharge rewards linked to Vehicle Registration Numbers (VRNs). UPSC framing can examine how citizen participation, verification design, and time-bound processing improve hygiene governance along highways while limiting duplicate claims.
