New method of train cleaning, Know here all the details
Railway Minister announces new method of train cleaning; Know more details: Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnav has announced a new system to improve cleanliness on long-distance trains. Now, trains will be cleaned not only at designated stations but also as needed throughout the journey. This will also include general class coaches.
Until now, under the Clean Train Station scheme, train cleaning was performed at specific stations. Under the new system, trained professional teams will be stationed on the train itself. These teams will clean coaches every hour or as needed. The frequency of cleaning will be determined based on peak and non-peak hours.
The Railway Minister announced that technology-based war rooms will be established to oversee this system. Real-time monitoring, feedback, and performance management will be provided from here. This will ensure accountability and responsibility for service providers. The goal is to ensure better and timely service for passengers.
Under the new railway system, coaches, toilets, and basins will be cleaned regularly, as will dustbins, minor repairs, and water refills. This will also include checking and reporting safety equipment. This means that maintenance will be addressed along with cleanliness.
Steps have been taken to strengthen not only passenger amenities but also the railway’s freight operations. Cargo-related infrastructure will be developed on vacant railway land, including warehouses, grinding units, processing and aggregation units. Underutilized warehouses will be converted into Gati Shakti Cargo Terminals.
