Mumbai: Central Railway on fast track to becoming plastic-free

Central Railway, Mumbai division, launches drive to avoid use of plastic; stalls to sell food in paper bags

An employee of a food stall on a CR station pours chips into a paper bag for a customer to ensure the plastic bag is disposed of properly

Chips and samosas will be served in paper bags at city stations, as the Central Railway (CR) last week launched a drive to keep plastic bags and sachets out of commuters’ hands. These are the main reason for the clogging of drains on railway premises. Vendors at railway stalls have been advised to give snacks in paper bags to consumers to keep as much plastic away as possible.
