Divisional railway manager (DRM-Vijayawada) Narendra A. Patil said every person should shun single-use plastic products and switch to cloth, paper or jute bags.
Speaking after kicking off a fortnight-long cleanliness drive titled ‘Swachhata Hi Sewa–Swachhata Pakhwada’ on the premises of Vijayawada railway station on Saturday (September 16), the DRM said, “Every person should do their bit to make the country and the Indian Railways clean and green.”
The DRM later advised officers and staff to together pledge 100 hours a week to clean the station premises, offices and public spaces and also to ensure that the ban on single-use plastic products was implemented to the letter.
