Business Standard
Amitabh Kant (pictured), CEO of the NITI Aayog, wants to drive the Prime Minister’s pet Swachh Bharat Mission right into India’s railway stations. In a tweet on the eve of Independence Day, he listed the names of five of the dirtiest stations (in the A1 category) in India — Mathura (Uttar Pradesh), Kalyan (Maharashtra), Gwalior (Madhya Pradesh), Gaya (Bihar) and Howrah (Bengal) —and gave a shout to railway officials to take up the challenge to spruce them up. “Will the Railway officials take this as an Independence Day challenge and make them the cleanest in India?” he asked.
