OPEN DEFECATION ACROSS KILOMETERS
It is nice to learn that PM
Narendra Modi has enthused all the Ministries and Ministers to take a broom and
clean. During his first three months one of the significant step was taming the babus …
making them to attend office in time and to clean the muck in their
offices. Now the Ministries and its babus are out in open to clean the
nation. We could see some photographs of high profile Ministers with a broom sending a significant message on cleanliness. The atma of the Mahatma must be feeling happy for the importance being given to Swachchta.
There is no department that is
not linked to cleanliness. Public service departments like Railways, Road
transport, Tourism,Health and Sanitation are directly linked to cleanliness in public spaces.
Rural Development ministry shall take care of toilet needs of rural population and Urban Development ministry shall focus on slums development and public toilets. Commerce and Industry shall woo the business to invest/support cleanliness drive. Though each
department has something to do, a synergy is required to bring them together. Hope is that Swachch Bharat Abhiyan shall fulfill such requirement.
Railways is one organization which serves the nation incessantly 24x7 all 365 days.News reports indicate that on
almost all stations and platforms of railways are going to be cleaned on 2nd
October involving lakhs of employees and babus.
Stations and platforms becoming litter free would be a dream come true.
Let us hope it is realized.
Cleaning stations and premises is only half of the story. Major cleanliness hazard related to Trains is visiting toilets in trains. If you visit a toilet in train it is as good as you enacting open defecation. Train toilets are toilets on move spreading open defecation to all nukes and
corners of India running across thousands of kilometers of railway network.
When the country is worried about rural India not having toilets there is some
thing more serious to worry TRAINS CARRYING OPEN TOILETS ACROSS THE NATION. There are sporadic reports that railways
is contemplating bio toilets. Hope such a project comes to reality at least in five
year long swachch bharat abhiyan approved by the Cabinet.
