Taking a cue from Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the babus of the east Central Railways in Daltonganj have started a cleanliness drive in the station premise, said the traffic inspector AK Sinha.
The drive a day is of two hours beginning 6.30 in the morning. From commercial supervisor to station managers all are involved in this drive added Sinha. The drive is to conclude this October 2, added Sinha. Conspicuous absentees are the train ticket examiners sources said.
The drive is yielding good results but some poor and deprived families which have made their homes one railway shed there are throwing spanner into the clean image of the ECR here. This reporter met station managers Ajay Ekka, SP Pandey, GP Hansda S Shekhar and commercial supervisor Dipanker who were found busy cleaning the premise on Thursday.
These families create all mess that one can imagine like pissing and defecating in open, washing utensils and clothes, spreading rags in open etc.
A clerk Rishi Raj said these poor are so thick skinned that they do all nuisance in front of Daltonganj RPF’s post. Railways want them to be ousted from here but efforts go in vain.
