Manthan K Mehta TNN
Mumbai: The railways have decided to levy fines of up to Rs 500 on those who spit on platforms, 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, clothes, or any other objects; store personal objects; paste posters on walls; or deface walls or train compartments. By authorized places, the railways mean 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 have made station masters and ticket collectors responsible for maintaining cleanliness at stations and on trains.”
