Hyderabad:
Apart from monitoring security system at stations under its jurisdiction through closed circuit TV cameras, the South Central Railway (SCR) has begun utilising CCTVs to also oversee cleanliness activities.
SCR General Manager P K Srivastava has told officials that CCTVs network available at major stations should also be utilised to monitor cleanliness activities.
"CCTV surveillance system at stations can serve as a useful tool to watch whether the nominated house-keeping staffers are regularly cleaning the premises. It can be used to identify people littering the Railway premises and impose penalties on them," he said.
Mr Srivastava was speaking after releasing publicity material consisting of multi-colour pamphlets and posters at Rail Nilayam in Hyderabad yesterday.
The potential of CCTVs in this regard should be fully harnessed for effective monitoring towards improved cleanliness in railway premises, he said.
As many as 440 CCTV cameras have been installed at 32 major stations of SCR for security purpose.
SCR is undertaking 'Swachh Bharat Mission' as a mass movement involving Railway employees at all levels. It is also taking up public awareness campaigns seeking cooperation of passengers in maintaining railway premises clean.
