India’s first green train corridor between Rameshwaram and Manamadurai was launched in Tamil Nadu on Sunday under the Central government’s Swachh Bharat programme.
The 114 km stretch train corridor inaugurated by Railway Minister Suresh Prabu, will become free from human waste discharge. Prabu said with the provision of bio-toilets in all its coaches discharge of human waste from trains on to the track will be completely stopped which in turn will help in improving cleanliness and hygiene besides preventing corrosion of the tracks.
