Improving Cleanliness in Trains - Solutions

Dear Friends,

As many of you know, cleanliness was highlighted as a top priority for Railways Ministry by our circle. The overall whitepaper submitted by us to Railways Ministry is available at:
https://www.localcircles.com/a/img/press/Making_Railways_Better-White_Paper.compressed.pdf

Kindly give highly specific and implementable inputs that will help improve cleanliness in trains. We will then compile a whitepaper on Cleanliness and submit to the Railways Ministry.

I look forward to your inputs!

Cleaning of compartment/toilets in second sleeper and general coach is in very poor condition.Cleaning duty staff must check/done cleaning in short interval duration and also verification check/verified by passengers/compartment TTE. more  
Security is a prime factor in all long distance train. There should be fine system those who make dirty the train. more  
As mentioned elsewhere, the class 4 employees are deployed at the residents of Rly. officials, the cleaning of compartments are let alone unattended, This has resulted in the present day's shabby condition. We are compelled to travel with bed-bugs, rats and cockroaches. Some trains are serving spiders as well (lot of cobwebs found in so-called superfast South bound trains from Chennai Egmore) more  
White paper is ok but one has to be very specific to problem to have a better results, i come from Jammu, Jammu station was adjudged the best station in NR but today the situation is pathetic, one has to analyse problems on micro levels to join all micro to make macro on National level. Each and every problem needs detailed scrutiny and then the final result. Why not the money earned through parking lots used for the upkeep of that station, there will be no pretext of fund crunch for maintaining railway stations. more  
There is no coach cleaning in long distance trains. more
