The metal partitions put on the walls in the first experimental stretch between Sion and Matunga

The railways has declared war on garbage. Specifically on those who dump it on the tracks. The railways had moved from brick walls to wire meshes, and then back to concrete walls as boundaries, to stop garbage dumping and trespassing. But about 250 cubic metres of trash is still found on railway property every day. This week, the Central Railway moved to impregnable metal partitions, drilled over the concrete walls, to stop garbage dumping. "It's almost war out there. Something like garbage warfare. We are building walls, penalising people, and also counselling them on not dumping it on railway property," a senior divisional official said.
