Railway Board Enhances Cleanliness and Service Monitoring on 11 Long-Distance Trains
The Railway Board has directed enhanced cleanliness and service monitoring for 11 long-distance trains with journeys exceeding 40 hours. The initiative focuses on maintaining hygiene, housekeeping, bio-toilets, waste management, minor repairs, and passenger amenities throughout the entire journey, not just at the start. Zonal railways are tasked with weekly reviews to promptly address deficiencies and ensure sustained upkeep from origin to destination on trains such as the Vivek Express and Awadh Assam Express.
