National Green Tribunal (NGT) has announced a fine of Rs. 5,000 for littering or throwing waste on the railway platforms and tracks.
A slew of directions have been passed to the Railways and other authorities for maintaining cleanliness on railway tracks.
The Tribunal has reportedly directed the Railways and the Municipal Corporations of Delhi to place dustbins after identifying exact locations for collection of garbage.
NGT also directed the Railways to collect, transport and treat the waste at the treatment plants instead of directly releasing the garbage into sewer system.
