    Bengaluru Airport installs diaper changing room in men's washroom

    What's the story

    The Kempegowda International Airport in Bengaluru was appreciated for its progressive move of installing a diaper changing room in the men's washroom.

    Most of the diaper changing rooms in airports are attached to women's washrooms as women are only expected to change the baby's diaper.

    However, this innovative approach has broken the pre-defined gender stereotypes and motivates people to work toward an equitable society.

    Tweet

    A tweet went viral celebrating the feature

    A tweet celebrating the unique approach went viral recently.

    A Twitter user wrote, "Needs to be celebrated. Spotted in a men's washroom at @BLRAirport - a diaper change station. Childcare is not just a woman's responsibility."

    The post got hundreds of comments and more than 1,400 retweets.

    Bengaluru Airport authorities also replied to the tweet and claimed that the diaper changing rooms are well-equipped.

    Examples

    Users also shared examples of useful features spotted across India

    Many Twitter users shared examples of other innovative, convenient, and practical features noticed in different parts of the country.
