“Every day, my colleagues and I head out to the railway tracks, ready to tackle the mess left behind by passengers. With our brooms, hand gloves and bags, we cover a good 5 km during our shifts, cleaning up the trash that accumulates. It might not seem like a big deal, just sweeping away debris, but it means a lot to us.

Keeping our country’s railway premises clean isn’t just a job; it’s a point of pride. We’re dedicated to maintaining high standards of cleanliness and hygiene because we know it makes a difference for everyone who uses the railways.

• 

Part of our routine involves politely reminding passengers not to litter plastic on the tracks. We’ve seen firsthand the damage it can cause, not just to the environment but also to the smooth functioning of the railway system. It’s frustrating to see people leaving behind plastic covers, wrappers, and other items, creating a mess that affects us all. By spreading awareness and encouraging responsible behavior, we hope to minimize the impact of litter on both the tracks and the surrounding area.

• 

Sure, there are times when people shout at us, thinking we’re in their way, but we just keep going. We know we’re doing our part to make things better, even if it’s behind the scenes.

• 

We may not be doing the most respectable jobs but we are proud to be the unsung sheroes of the Indian Railways, quietly sweeping away the dirt and spreading the wellness and positivity wherever we go.”
