New policies for cleaning the metro premises
In addition to the entertainment aspect, the Kolkata Metro authorities have also taken a proactive step towards maintaining cleanliness and hygiene within the metro premises. Recognising the importance of a clean and litter-free environment, a special anti-littering drive has been launched on the green and blue lines.
The decision to implement this drive comes in response to observed instances of littering, with bottles strewn across the premises and gutka packets scattered along the tracks. Under the new initiative, stringent measures have been put in place to deter littering, with hefty fines imposed on violators.
By instilling a sense of responsibility among passengers and fostering a culture of cleanliness, the Kolkata Metro aims to reclaim its status as one of the cleanest metro systems in the country. Through collective efforts and adherence to rules and regulations, commuters are encouraged to play an active role in preserving the cleanliness and integrity of their beloved metro system.
The Kolkata Metro's dual initiatives of introducing Tom and Jerry cartoons for entertainment and launching an anti-littering drive underscore its commitment to enhancing the overall commuting experience while simultaneously upholding standards of cleanliness and hygiene. As passengers embark on their metro journeys, they are not only treated to nostalgic delightsand joyful rides but also reminded of the importance of collective stewardship in maintaining the integrity of public spaces.
