Has come up with a tremendous plan to keep the railway station and train clean. Despite the severity during the Corona period, the habit of people spitting at railway stations and platforms or any public place has not been brought under control.

Railways have come up with a unique innovation to curb this habit of people at stations and platforms. You will be shocked to know that Indian Railways spends Rs 1,200 crore every year to clean the stains and marks caused by the spitting of leaf and tobacco eaters. That means Rs 1200 crore is spent unnecessarily due to a bad habit.
Vending machines will be installed at 42 stations,
Now the railways have come up with a hefty plan to save Rs 1,200 crore which is wasted every year. Under this, vending machines and kiosks will be installed at 42 stations to prevent passengers from spitting in the railway premises. According to PTI, Spitoon pouches of up to Rs 5 and Rs 10 will be provided in this vending machine by the railways. This facility has also been started in many places.
How will spit work with a pouch?
Railway's 3 zones - Western, North and Central Railways have contracted Nagpur-based startup EasyPist for this. The specialty of this spigot is that anyone can easily keep it in his pocket. With the help of this pouch, the passenger can spit anywhere without any stain. That means Rs 1200 crore will not be wasted now.
How does this pouch work?
Let me tell you that this biodegradable pouch can be used 15-20 times. In fact, it turns saliva into a solid. Once fully used, these bags are placed in the ground, then they melt completely. That is, there is no relief from the danger of pollution. It may be mentioned that a startup company from Nagpur has started installing these vending machines at stations. He has tied up with Nagpur Municipal Corporation and Aurangabad Municipal Corporation.
