CLEANING ACT

Rlys imposes 500 fine for spitting on platforms

Manthan K Mehta TNN

Mumbai: The railways has decided to levy fines of up to Rs 500 on those who spit on platforms or litter or deface walls on railway premises. The railway ministry has empowered station masters/ managers and ticket collectors to collect the amounts.

The ministry has issued a notification of rules on the prohibition of activities affecting cleanliness and hygiene on railway premises. The notification—brought out on November 26—also specifies penalties for violating the rules. According to it, no person shall in any occupied or unoccupied railway premises or carriages (except in authorized places): throw or deposit litter; cook, bathe, spit, urinate or defecate; feed

animals or birds; repair or wash vehicles; wash utensils or clothes or any other objects; store personal objects; paste posters on walls; deface walls or train compartments. By authorized places, the railways means lavatories, waste baskets and locker rooms.

The railway ministry has asked authorized vendors and hawkers to arrange for containers for waste collection and to ensure their disposal.

“Till now, Indian Railways did not have specific rules on civic sense, and offenders were booked under provisions of the Railways Act,” said a senior railway officer. “But by notifying cleanliness and sanitation rules, the railways has made station masters and ticket collectors responsible for maintaining cleanliness at stations and on trains.”

This has been notified in many stations but hardly implemented, even the smoking fines and many more alike....... Difficult to implement may be because of the population!! Thank you for the info..........
