Tatanagar Railway Station Launches 'Bottle Bank' for Cleaner, Greener Platforms

• Indian Railways introduces a 'Bottle Bank' on Platform Number 1 of Tatanagar Railway Station, under the Chakradharpur Railway Division, to manage plastic waste.
• The Bottle Bank is an iron mesh structure designed for passengers to deposit used plastic water bottles, aiming to prevent littering on platforms and tracks.
• This initiative addresses issues like station cleanliness, clogged drainage systems, and the unhygienic practice of refilling discarded bottles for resale.
• Collected plastic bottles will be properly disposed of, and potentially recycled, contributing to environmental protection and waste reduction.
• Passengers have lauded the effort, suggesting its expansion to all platforms at Tatanagar and implementation across all railway stations nationwide for maximum impact.
