How Indian Railways is improving cleanliness in trains

Live Mint  

Indian Railways, the country's national transporter, is taking various steps to ensure that it maintains cleanliness in its coaches including the toilets. The national transporter carries out special cleanliness drives and awareness campaigns from time to time to make the passengers travelling in the trains more aware of the benefits of keeping the train coaches clean. The railways provided Onboard Housekeeping Service in nearly 1090 pairs of trains including Rajdhani, Shatabdi and other important long distance Mail/Express trains for cleaning of coach toilets, doorways, aisles and passenger compartments during the run of the trains. Railways also started the Clean Train Station scheme and it has also been prescribed for limited mechanized cleaning attention to identified trains including cleaning of toilets during their scheduled stoppages en route to nominated stations.
