Palakkad Division Adopts Modern Technology For Comprehensive Cleaning of Railway Stations: Read to Know

Southern Railway’s Palakkad Division has adopted modern technology to clean the station premises within its jurisdiction in alignment with the Swachh Bharath Mission.

The division has adopted waste segregation to separate biodegradable and non-biodegradable wastes immediately after the collection. Non-biodegradable wastes are further categorised into different types and then handed over to authorised recyclers. Most of the major stations are having plastic bottle crushing units too.

The 89 stations are closely monitored by the Railway Administration at the Divisional level through specially created imprest cash. Cleaning operations are awarded by tender quotations, which are renewed from time to time. The close monitoring ensures that each station maintains the highest standards of cleanliness, contributing to the broader Swachh Bharat Mission and aligning with the government’s cleanliness initiatives.
