| |
| − |
| |
| − | For a second successive year, Delhi’s Anand Vihar railway station has been ranked as the fifth cleanest station by the latest Swachh Railway report released on Monday. The station is the highest ranked among all railway stations in the capital, with the next best being the New Delhi railway station at a rank of 39, followed by Old Delhi (54) and Hazrat Nizamuddin (60) stations.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | While both Anand Vihar and New Delhi railway stations matched their ranks from last year, both Old Delhi and Hazrat Nizamuddin stations recorded sharp decline, and fell 30 and 37 places respectively. Last year, Hazrat Nizamuddin was the second best Delhi station with a ranking of 23, while Old Delhi was ranked 24.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Railway officials said that Anand Vihar’s structural designs and practical features have helped it maintain a high rank. The station also makes use of subways instead of foot overbridges, which help reduce congestion on the platforms, said officials. “The loading of food and other parcel items takes place in the stabling area rather than near the platform to ensure no waste is generated. Exit rooms at the station also don’t open towards the platform but towards the entry/exit zone, which keeps the platforms clean,” said a senior railway official.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | A1 category stations are all stations that generate a revenue of more than Rs 50 crores. Talking about the drop in rankings for both Old Delhi and Hazrat Nizamuddin, railway officials say it could be due to the ongoing construction work taking place.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | “We are revamping all the major stations and a lot of debris is being generated that may make the station look unclean. We are working on improving these stations on a number of parameters and we expect better results next year,” said R N Singh, DRM, Delhi division.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Among the smaller stations that fell in the A category (revenue between Rs 6-50 crores), Delhi fared similarly with Delhi Cantt, Shahdara, Sarai Rohilla and Adarsh Nagar stations, all recording a drop in rankings. Sarai Rohilla station fell to rank 230 in 2018 compared to 122 in 2017. Similarly, Shahdara has been ranked 300 in the A category – a drop from 230, Delhi Cantt 315 – a drop from 86 last year and Adarsh Nagar has been ranked 326 – a drop from 285 in 2017.
